FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Using new the new I-95 Express Lanes in Broward is now going to cost you.

Over the weekend, toll collection began on the lanes which stretch from State Road 826 to Broward Boulevard.

The tolls are collected electronically with SunPass. The Department of Transportation said the tolls will vary depended on the amount of congestion on the lanes. The minimum toll is 50-cents.

Three-plus carpools and hybrid vehicles may be eligible for an exemption but must be registered with South Florida Commuter Services.

Toll amounts will be displayed on large overhead signs before the express lane entrances so drivers can choose to enter the express lanes or stay in the non-tolled general use lanes.

With the expansion, express toll lanes on I-95 stretch from State Road 836 to Broward Boulevard.
