Free tolls on the Atlantic City Expressway kick off '100 Days of Summer' in South Jersey
Anyone using the Atlantic City Expressway to go to the Jersey Shore on Friday may want to time their trip to take advantage of a freebie at the Egg Harbor Toll Plaza. From 4-5 p.m. Friday, any driver passing eastbound through the plaza is to have their tolls paid by Chickie's & Pete's. The bar and restaurant chain picks up the tab there every year as the company ownership's way of celebrating Memorial Day. Also on May 23, the expressway operator, South Jersey Transportation Authority, is to kick off its annual '100 Days of Summer' programming at the nearby Farley Service Plaza. The plaza is at milepost 21.3, not far from the toll station. More: Memorial Day 2025 events planned across South Jersey. See the listing.
