The Tri-State Tollway (Interstate 294) in Chicagoland

A recent trip on Chicago's Tri-State Tollway. It was compressed from a 52-minute ride into 10 minutes (ha, like you could actually drive that fast in Chicago.) Anyways, enjoy.

For those of you who don't live in or around Chicago, the Tri-State Tollway is one of the principal bypasses around the Chicago area (the other being the North-South Tollway.) The Tri-State was constructed from the mid to late 1950's, expecting growth from the Northern, Western, and Southern suburbs of Chicago. Today, the road also serves as a principal road for all road transportation entering Chicago from the Northeast to the northern Midwest. Interstate 80, a major linkage in the Interstate system, is part of the Tri-State for its first few miles before diverging towards northern Illinois towards the Quad Cities.

I was heading northbound from about the Thornton Quarry to just south of Lake-Cook Road (due to time restrictions, I couldn't post about the last ten seconds exiting onto that road).

@wlad1969 The cops don't bother you unless you're doing over 80 on most of that highway.

[MattPerk7]

You need to get an I-Pass

What is the maximum speed allowed on this road ?

Its bumpy because the pavement has to be replaced. This will be all taken care of by the end of 2009.
