Interstate 90

Interstate 90 runs east-west across North-Eastern Illinois. This highway links the Rockford Metro to Downtown Chicago.

While in Illinois, I-90 is multi-plexed several times.

I-90 is multi-plexed with...

...Interstate 39, from the Wisonsin/Illinois State Line to Cherry Valley.

...U.S. Rt. 51, from near the Wisconsin/Illinois State Line to Cherry Valley.

...Interstate 94, from the Edens Expressway to the Chicago Skyway.


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.


While in Illinois, I-90 crosses the following interstates.
