How's That 30 Minute Drive to the Ferry

When they Oceanic Bridge is taken out of commission for replacement or repairs, the ride from Rumson to the Highlands ferry is definately going to take longer. I do like the idea of leaving the bridge at a shorter height though.

"RUMSON — Local borough councils are taking up the fight to keep the Oceanic Bridge from growing to new heights.

With the Monmouth County Department of Transportation looking at several different plans to replace the historic but deteriorating bridge, including one that would increase the height of the structure to 70 feet, the borough councils of Rumson, Fair Haven Little Silver and Middletown have passed resolutions opposing a larger, fixed bridge.

As the Oceanic Bridge stands now, it reaches only 50 feet at its highest point and its drawbridge has to be opened to allow taller vessels to pass through."

I have been thinking of buying in Atlantic Highlands in 2001, but figured the commute would be too long, and fast ferry to NYC is expensive, even with monthly pass.
How much it is now in peak hours ?
$20 each way ?

I think it's about $500 / month from AH.
