Who's framiliar with Chi Town?

[Thieroff 10+ year member]

Last summer I went through Chicago on I-90, and it goes directly through town.

We got caught up in a lot of traffic, which is to be expected in an area approaching 10 million people.

I was driving a car, but this time I will be driving a Penske Truck, 16' with a car trailer too.

I need to bypass Chicago, or as much of it as possible, to head further west.

I was thinking about taking I-80 at the I-80/I-90 split.

Can much traffic be expected in this area?

I understand that some traffic is to be expected, but driving that truck would not be fun through the I-90 corridor.

Thanks guys

80 east to 294 north, i find that quicker then taking 57 / 94 downtown. Where are you going and comming from? i maybe able to give you better directions

Are you going to Wisconsin? When I go to Minnesota on 94 I take 294 around Chicago then back to 90, then into Madison where I get back on 94 and continue into Minnesota.
