Motorists traveling aboard the Cape May–Lewes Ferry are now paying more to cross Delaware Bay as rising diesel fuel costs have prompted a temporary $7 surcharge on every vehicle crossing.The additional charge took effect Monday, Oct. 12, increasing the cost of a round-trip vehicle reservation by $14. According to SouthJerseyNewsBeat.com, the Delaware River and Bay Authority, which operates the ferry between Cape May, New Jersey, and Lewes, Delaware, announced the surcharge last week, citing rising fuel prices and continued volatility in energy markets.
