Toll facilities in E-ZPass territory that don't accept E-ZPass

Which toll facilities (bridges/tunnels/roads) that are located within E-ZPass territory do not currently accept E-ZPass as a method of payment? I've listed the ones I can think of below.

  • Seaway Skyway (Odgensburg-Prescott International Bridge)
  • Seaway International Bridge (Three Nations Crossing)
  • Atlantic Beach Bridge
  • Dingman's Ferry Bridge
  • Margate Bridge (Downbeach Express)
  • Oldtown Low-Water Toll Bridge
  • Parkersburg Memorial Bridge
  • Newell Toll Bridge
  • Wabash Cannonball Bridge
Once the integration of SRTA PeachPass and FTE SunPass into E-ZPass is completed, South Carolina will be a major outlier, sandwiched between two E-ZPass states (NC and GA) yet both of its toll facilities only accept cash or the Palmetto Pass, which isn't valid in any other state. The Cross Island Parkway/Hilton Head Island toll will be going away in a couple of years as the bridge is almost paid off, but the Greenville Southern Connector isn't going to become free anytime soon.

I have purposely excluded access roads into National Parks/Forests that are often times de facto toll roads given the fees charged by NPS to enter the park/forest (even if you're just passing through), but those are a separate thing altogether.

The Thousand Island Bridge on I-81 is a former example. They only just started accepting E-ZPass a year or two ago.

The Oldtown Toll Bridge, well upstream from White's Ferry over the North Branch of the Potomac River, accepts cash, credit cards and honors monthly accounts.

Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway is something of a toll road.  No E-ZPass.

Think Michigan has a couple of toll bridges, but it's not an E-ZPass state and shares a land border with 2 E-ZPass states (OH and IN)

Another former example is the Middle Thorofare Bridge in Cape May, NJ.  All the GSVs except for the most recent have a "No E-Z Pass" sign.

Dingmans Ferry Bridge in the Delaware Water Gap which has the distinction of being the last privately owned toll bridge on the Delaware River per Wiki.

I consider Michigan to be in "E-ZPass territory" as it's between Illinois and the East Coast.  In that regard, it's a fail.  Four separate systems for four toll facilities, and an E-ZPass transponder won't work with any of them.

  • The Ambassador Bridge has a proprietary A-PASS program.
  • The Detroit Windsor Tunnel uses NEXPRESS.
  • The Mackinac Bridge has a proprietary MacPass program.
  • The International Bridge has a proprietary IQ Prox Card program.
  • I don't think the Blue Water Bridge has any electronic toll system at all.
