SR 520 Bridge tolling
Find out how to pay tolls and what the toll rates are for the SR 520 Bridge.
Tolling on the SR 520 Bridge helps manage congestion and is expected to raise $1.2 billion to help pay for the construction, safety and maintenance of the new bridge.
How to pay
You have two options to pay a toll on the SR 520 Bridge:
- Good To Go! account: With a Good To Go! account and pass installed in your vehicle, you pay the lowest toll rate and don't have to worry about waiting for a bill to arrive in the mail. Learn more about Good To Go! accounts and passes.
- Pay By Mail: If you don't have a Good To Go! account and you travel on the bridge, we’ll take a picture of your license plate and mail a bill to the address on your vehicle registration with the Department of Licensing. The Pay By Mail toll rate is $2 higher than the Good To Go! pass rate.
Toll rates
SR 520 bridge toll rates change based on time of day, with lower toll rates on nights, weekends and holidays. Tolls are collected for both directions of the bridge.
47 signs on SR 520 (PDF 241KB) and the roads leading to it on either side of the lake advise drivers that a toll road is ahead and where their last exit will be before paying a toll.
Drivers who choose to register their license plate on a Good To Go! account without a pass, called Pay By Plate, pay an extra 25 cents per trip on top of the Good To Go! pass rate.
