    Delaware's three toll roads would see fee increases under DelDOT's plan to increase revenues as part of this year's budget. Drivers along I-95 and Route 301 at their Maryland Line crossings, and both major toll booths along Delaware Route 1 are being subject to hikes of at least 25% by the end of 2025. Route 1 would see toll increases at both the Biddles (south of Roth Bridge) and Dover Toll Plazas, and the increases are steep if you do not have a Delaware E-ZPass system.
