Toll Ends On Cross Island – Where You Can Return Your Transponder

Tolls Come to an End on theCross Island Parkway

Since 1998, residents and tourists have been paying tolls on the Cross Island Parkway–but that’s all about to change.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has stopped collecting tolls as of June 30, 2021for Hilton Head Island’s Cross Island Parkway.

The agency is now preparing to convert the corridor to a non-tolled road.

The Cross Island Parkway has served Hilton Head residents, visitors, and businesses as an important alternate travel route for more than 20 years, and we’re pleased to convert it to a non-tolled roadway permanently,” said Justin Powell, SCDOT Deputy Secretary of Finance and Administration.

Opened in 1998, The Cross Island Parkway is a 7.5 mile, limited access route that connects the William Hilton Parkway (Business US 278) at the north end of the Island with Palmetto Bay Road and the Sea Pines Circle at the south end of the island. SCDOT will continue maintaining the Parkway as apart of its statewide road system.
