What it is and who needs it.
What the Tollway right-of-way bond actually covers
The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority controls the right of way along the Illinois tollway system. To construct a facility that crosses or occupies that right of way — a utility line, access point, or other work — you need formal approval and a right-of-way permit, and the Authority conditions the permit on a surety bond.
The bond guarantees that you perform the permitted work to the Authority's terms and fully restore the right of way — pavement, drainage, landscaping, and any tollway facilities affected. If you leave work incomplete or damage the right of way and fail to restore it, the Authority can recover its costs against the bond.
The Authority sets the amount per permit based on the scope of the work, so there is no single statutory figure — enter the amount on your permit. All bonds must be from a surety on the U.S. Treasury's approved list and licensed in Illinois; ours qualify. We issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
