LOL have been searching online all morning and can't find any site with the info. The MD Transportation site freezes on that link.
"New Tolls are In Effect" is the only posted sign at the tunnel (along with the old $2 rate) and when you drive through with EZ pass it just says paid.
So the new toll is a secret toll.

The Battle of Baltimore
The cost of highway tolls going from Baltimore, Maryland to Atlantic City, will depend on which highway is taken. JFK Memorial Highway is $8 while the Ft. McHenry Tunnel and the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel are $4 each. To exit in New Jersey, the Jersey Turnpike is $13.85.
The original lyrics for the Star Spangled Banner came from the poem "The Defense of Fort McHenry" written by Francis Scott Key in 1814.
It would have meant that the British had overrun Ft. McHenry because they would take the flag down.
British were shelling Ft. McHenry
"The Star-Spangled Banner" was inspired there.
