Leased to the highest bidder!

摘要

Macquarie Infrastructure Group, the Australian toll road operator that in 2005 signed a 99-year agreement to operate the Chicago Skyway, is exploring similar arrangements elsewhere in the country, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Chesapeake Expressway in Virginia. Chicago picked up almost $2 billion for the deal. Not long afterward, Indiana leased its portion of the toll road that connects to the Skyway to Macquarie (which, as part of the $3.85 billion deal, also is going to help build Indiana's newest toll road).
