Long procession of big BGSs approaching the I-94 split.

|
Danville is way south of here, on I-74; most of the route is IL 1.
|
|
I-94 and US 6: Miles apart west of the Mississippi, crossing each other here.

Calumet River bridge

|
These BGSs for I-57 skips most of the length of Illinois and then two whole states (Missouri and Arkansas) to list a city
I-57 doesn't even go to.
|
"57 Ends" visible from I-94

|
We'll take the express lanes for a while.

|
Heading into the big city; "Lake Shore Drive" is I-55's last "control city".

|
It's kind of amusing to be driving in rural Iowa and hear WBBM's traffic reporter tell you how long it takes to get to "the post office." Here it is.
|
|
My third time past the Sears Tower, but first time it didn't involve going up in it.
|
Downtown Chicago's a nice place to drive through, but I wouldn't want to park here...
|
My attempt at an "End US 66" photo is diminished by its angle to the street and the orange sign underneath.
|
Heading back out, but we'll head back in again for Lower Wacker Drive.
|
|
I now regret not taking any pictures of Lower Wacker, if only because it denies me a gratuitous Blues Brothers quote.

A flying saucer has landed on the temple! No, wait, that's Soldier Field.
|
Picking up the very beginning of I-55
|
Taking I-290 back to the hotel via the northernmost part of I-355
