Effective 2005, the City of Chicago agreed to a concession agreement in which Macquarie-Cintra would take control of the Chicago Skyway for 99 years in exchange for $1.8 billion. Concession revenue was to be used primarily to pay off city debt. Since then, car tolls have doubled, from $2.00 to $4.00.
