It’s not happening tomorrow, but within the week, South Jersey Transportation Authority will break ground on this major transformation, removing toll barriers and booths in favor of an overhead detection system like the ones that are already in place above the EZPass lanes along ACX.

Maybe SJTA is giving motorists an opportunity to convert to EZPass by the time the cashless system debuts in May 2025, because Atlantic City Expressway is going cashless whether you have EZPass or not, 6abc.com reports.
