Nova Scotia has announced it will be removing tolls on the two bridges spanning Halifax Harbour as of April 1 .

During the election campaign last December , Tim Houston promised if his PC party was re-elected to a second term, it would remove tolls.

Tolls on both bridges, which are operated by a Crown corporation, range from $ 1 for those with passes to $ 1.25 for drivers who pay cash at toll plazas.
