The most expensive fixed toll road in Australia will now cost drivers even more after yet another pay increase. 

From Monday, the Eastern Distributor in Sydney will cost $7.61 per trip for cars and $15.22 for trucks - up from $7.46 and $14.62 late last year.

The fares were as little as $3.50 for cars and $7.50 for trucks back in 2001. 

The 6km stretch of one-way road takes motorists under five minutes to drive through and is more expensive than crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge during peak traffic.
