TOLLINGICONS
THE WORLD’S MOST ICONIC TOLL PLAZAS
Once upon a time you couldn’t build a toll road without also building a plaza at which
vehicles stop to pay their dues. But as open-road tolling takes hold, some of the views on
the following pages may soon be confined to the history books. Enjoy them while you can…
The bold neon sign on the Chicago Skyway Toll
Bridge helps to make it extremely memorable. The
50s styling is indicative of the decade in which it was
built. A toll must be paid for travelling the 7.8 mile
long ‘Skyway’ – completed in 1958 – that connects the
Indiana Toll Road and the Dan Ryan Expressway. The
toll was operated by the City of Chicago until January
2005 when Skyway Concession Company assumed its
operations under a 99 year lease.
