The most expensive toll in the world is a bridge in Scandinavia. What does one car crossing cost?

$73

Driving out of Copenhagen and into Sweden costs 470 Danish kroner, about $73, making it the most expensive toll on Earth and nearly double the next-priciest crossing, in Japan. It was built on state loans rather than taxes; drivers are paying them off themselves, with the debt not projected to clear until 2050.

The world’s highest toll is the $73 bridge between Denmark and Sweden. Drivers are paying off the construction loans.
