When will your toll-free Cross Island Parkway drive end?

Drivers on Hilton Head Island have just a few more days to use the Cross Island Parkway toll-free.

Beginning 12:01 a.m. Monday, S.C. Department of Transportation officials will re-instate toll collections that S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster waived Sept. 8 to facilitate Hurricane Irma evacuation, according to an SCDOT news release sent Friday.

When the toll booths reopen​, the cost will remain $1.25 cash or 75 cents with a Palmetto Pass.

Last year, SCDOT suspended the toll for weeks as Hurricane Matthew recovery occurred.

The 7.5-mile parkway opened in 1998.

SCDOT officials have said the debt taken on by the state to build the road is scheduled to be paid off by June 30, 2021.
