Hi, I'm Gendi Salvo, Morning Traffic Anchor on WLS AM-890 and this is Chicago Expressway's 101. The Eden's Expressway is also I-94 and the main major expressway north of the city of Chicago from Northburg, Illinois. The way that we report travel times here at WLS AM-890 is from Lake Cook Road on the north end all the way down to Montrose on the south end. This is also known as the Junction where the Eden's connects with the Kennedy Expressway. This is an 18-mile stretch and the base times are around 18 minutes in each direction. The John F. Kennedy Expressway is an 18-mile long freeway that travels from the northwest end of the city of Chicago into the city center. It begins directly in front of O'Hare International Airport and travels southeast down to the Jane Burner Circle interchange at Interstate 290. The way the Kennedy is known as as Interstate 90 until it reaches the Junction at Montrose where it connects with the Eden's and becomes 90-94. The Eisenhower Expressway or Interstate 290 is a roughly 30-mile auxiliary highway that runs eastbound from the northwest suburbs into the Chicago Loop. In short form, it's known as the Ike. The Eisenhower connects I-90 in rolling meadows with 90-94 which is the Kennedy Expressway and Dan Rine Expressway near the Loop. This travel times from Thorndale into the old post office which is just east of the Circle Interchange is around 30 minutes and 15 minutes in from Wolf Road without traffic. Interstate 55 enters the Chicago Metro area as the Stephenson Expressway and provides easy access to downtown Chicago via both the 90-94 Dan Rine Expressway interchange and US-41 which is also Lakeshore Drive at the northern terminus of I-55 near Sermack Road in the Lake Front. Times are calculated from the 355 toll road and closer in at 294, also known as the Tri-State. Base travel times on the Stephenson Expressway are about a half an hour from 355 on Inter Lakeshore Drive, 20 minutes in from the Tri-State. The Dan Rine Expressway is the freeway that runs on the south side of Chicago. From 95th Street going northbound into the Chicago Loop, it meets at the Janeburn Circle Interchange with the Kennedy Expressway and the Eisenhower. It's I-94 for the entire stretch from 95th into downtown which is 12 miles. I-90 doesn't intersect at 66th Street for another 8 miles left of the Dan Rine. Base travel times from the downtown area out to 95th and back, 15 minutes each way. I hope that answered any and all of your questions about the Chicago Expressway systems. Wait. What's that? The tollways. Stay tuned for the next segment of Chicago Expressways 101. I'll call it Chicago tollways 101. Until next time.
