That one quit charging tolls about 2005 when the fellow who inherited the bridge decided that he couldn't afford to pay the tollkeeper. The DOH closed the bridge in 2007. I remember that there were some fun discussions on MTR back then (I wasn't on MTR anymore by then). https://groups.google.com/g/misc.transport.road/c/z7LDMAkFCYI

“The first goal of the new ownership will be to modernize payment methods to include credit card and Apple pay, as well as a membership program,” he said. “These methods will be put in place to make the toll experience more convenient.”

I would imagine the equipment required to support E-ZPass would be cost-prohibitive.

And the traffic volume do not justify it. The only reason they are adding anything besides cash is the number of people who simply do not carry cash anymore.
