Trenchless Sewer Lining to the Rescue for the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge
The Chicago Skyway operations offices and maintenance facilities are located underneath the skyway toll plaza. A torrential rainstorm strikes and the 60+ year facilities were flooded, forcing the facilities staff out of their headquarters.
The ceilings were caving in because of the aging, deteriorating pipes that remove the stormwater from the plaza above.
They called us out, American Trenchless Technologies, the industry-leading sewer lining company in the greater Chicago area.
Our crew came out and solved the problem without any costly and disruptive open-cut excavations. The Skyway staff was back in business and major problems were solved quickly and efficiently.
About the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge
Built by the City of Chicago in 1958, the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge (also known as the “Skyway”) is a 7.8-mile-long toll road that connects the Indiana Toll Road to the Dan Ryan Expressway on Chicago’s South Side. The main feature of the Skyway is a 1⁄2-mile-long steel truss bridge, known as the “High Bridge”. The bridge itself spans the Calumet River and Calumet Harbor, a major harbor for industrial ships – its main span extends 650 feet long and provides for 125 feet of vertical clearance.
The Skyway was operated and maintained by the City of Chicago until January 2005 when Skyway Concession Company, LLC assumed its operations under a 99-year operating lease. The lease agreement between Skyway and the City of Chicago was the first privatization of an existing toll road in the United States.

Highly recommended. Mark and team (Omar, Derek, Tom) have been easy to work with, very reliable, professional and... thorough. I loved the fact that my yard didn’t need to be dug up - Trenchless is the way to go. Also, great back office support.read more
