Interstate 90 in Illinois has a gap in it. Originally, I-90 was routed along the Chicago Skyway. Recently, documents uncovered by the Chicago Street Department showed that the skyway never recieved interstate designation. Thus, the city placed "TO" banners over the shields. IDOT still labels that I-90 goes down the skyway. The Indiana East-West Toll Road also labels that I-90 continues down the skyway.





IDOT still labels I-90 going down the Chicago Skyway.
