Is there a toll on highway 30 Quebec?

Travelling to Vaudreuil via the A30 Express toll booth on Autoroute 30 will cost drivers of category 1 or passenger vehicles a minimum of $3.50 as of February 1. The fee for category 2 vehicles, or those over 230 centimetres, will be $2.60 per axle.



Yes, in 2026, there is a toll on the A30 Express (St. Lawrence Bridge) portion of Highway 30 in Quebec. As of early 2026, following a period of fluctuating traffic, the toll rates were adjusted to approximately $2.20 per axle for Category 1 vehicles, meaning a standard passenger car pays $4.40 per crossing. For larger Category 2 vehicles (taller than 230 cm), the rate is roughly $3.30 per axle. The toll is collected electronically through transponders (like A30 Express or A25 transponders) or via video tolling, which bills the registered owner based on their license plate. It is important to note that there is no cash option at the toll plaza in 2026; if you do not have a transponder, you will receive an invoice in the mail that includes an additional administrative fee. The toll only applies to the bridge section crossing the St. Lawrence River between Les Cèdres and Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, while the rest of the A30 highway remains free to use for commuters bypassing the island of Montreal.
