Automobile Although driving in the Chicago area can be intimidating, Naval Training Center Great Lakes is easily accessible from a major interstate highways, and also from U. S. 41. The Naval Training Center is located approximately 15 miles south of the Wisconsin state line, several miles east of Interstate 94 and U. S. 41. I-294, which is a toll road, is generally the less traveled of these two roads and would be the wiser choice during rush hour. At the north end of the Edens Expressway, one can either continue straight ahead onto U. S. 41 or exit onto a ramp and follow I-94 in a northwesterly direction. Once on Buckley Road, to reach the Recruit Training Command, turn right at Illinois Street.
