Questions about this bond
Is a general Illinois highway bond automatically the same?
No. The Tollway posts its own Permit Bond naming the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority and the actual Tollway permit. Match that request rather than substituting another road authority's form.
Does every minor activity use the same permit?
The Tollway distinguishes standard permits, outside construction permits and authorization letters for certain minor activities. Confirm which permission and security apply to the actual work.
Does the form's 365-day condition mean automatic bond expiration?
It is a condition for performing the specified work, with separate restoration and indemnity language. Confirm the actual instrument and release; do not infer cancellation from the purchase date.
