I think it's $1.45 now for the little bit that's open.
There is no way to pay with cash. Your only options are EZ Pass or having them photograph your license plate, mail you a bill, and hit you with a surcharge for the privilege.
And I don't know if most people have EZ Pass. Given that this is the first toll road in that area and Maryland's insistence on charging a few bucks a month for the convenience (though you can, of course, get an EZ Pass from other states), I think the only people who it ever made sense for are those who would drive north of Baltimore regularly.
Personally, I find it hard to imagine when I would ever use the ICC, but I live in Virginia.
