Planning a road trip to Washington, D.C.? If you’re leaving from Fort Lee, it will cost you $13.85 to drive the length of the New Jersey Turnpike starting Sunday — a leap from the $9.05 you’d pay for the same trip today.

And if you want to play the slots in Atlantic City, the trek down the Garden State Parkway will cost just $4.50 if you leave now. But come Sunday, plan on paying $6.75 for the same one-way trip.
