Drivers headed to the Jersey Shore for Memorial Day weekend will get a one-hour free toll reprieve Friday at a plaza on the Atlantic City Expressway.

The free tolls are part of the "100 Days of Summer Party" to start the holiday weekend.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday at the Farley Service Plaza, located at mile marker 21.3 on the expressway, according to a news statement from the South Jersey Transportation Authority.

The day will be highlighted by free tolls from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Egg Harbor Toll Plaza for anyone heading east.
