Dover -- Thanksgiving Holiday travelers that passed through Delaware's three main toll plaza locations on State Route 1 or Interstate 95 were part of the millions of American's making trips for turkey dinner or shopping bargains. Motorists passing through the highway speed E-ZPass lanes and cash lanes at Delaware toll facilities experienced a trouble free and smooth trip during the traditional "most traveled" weekend of the year.

During the four-day period over 528,000 vehicle trips were counted at the I-95 Newark Plaza, while more than 428,000 vehicle trips were counted at the Dover and Biddle's Corner locations on Route 1. It is estimated that over $2.77 million in revenue was collected during the Holiday at Delaware toll plazas.
