MTA seeks $750,000 annual toll payment from NYC Marathon organizers for bridge closure.
The MTA wants the New York Road Runners, organizers of the NYC Marathon, to pay $750,000 annually in bridge tolls for closing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge during the race. The bridge's closure costs the MTA revenue, and the MTA is demanding compensation. If the NYRR doesn't pay, limited access to the bridge used along the marathon route could be a result, affecting the 50,000+ runners expected to participate in November's race.
