Drivers on Hilton Head will have to pay the Cross Island Parkway toll again starting Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 7 a.m., according to SCDOT.

The toll has been lifted since Tuesday, Sept. 11 to allow for evacuations, even though the state’s evacuation order was lifted less than 24 hours after it was announced.

The Cross Island Parkway was identified as an evacuation route for Hurricane Florence, and those returning to the island today will not have to pay the toll.

The toll cost of traveling on the parkway is typically $1.25 for a two-axle vehicle each way.
