Motorcyclists to face northern gateway toll

The free ride for motorcyclists on the northern gateway is almost over.

From tomorrow, bikers will have to pay $2 each time they use the toll road on State Highway One just north of Auckland. That is the same fee for cars and other light vehicles using the stretch of road.

When the road opened in January last year, the toll for motorcyclists was set at zero pending a review. The fee was set earlier this year following public consultation.
