My Illiana Dream Expressway

Here's my dream Illiana Expressway that can get me to many of the places I want to go in Illinois while avoiding traffic congestion on the Tri-State highway.

Run the Illiana Expressway from I-65 someplace in Lake County, Indiana to I-57. Continue the highway northeast to connect with the I-355 extension that will meet up with I-80 near New Lenox, Illinois.

From the Illinois Tollway:

I-355 sign
The Illinois Tollway is constructing a 12.5-mile, three-lane extension of the North-South Tollway (I-355) from where it currently ends at the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) through Will County to I-80. This project is part of the Tollway's $5.3 billion Congestion-Relief Program to reduce travel times.


If this was the case, the Illiana Expressway would be an extension of I-355, providing easy access to Lake County, Indiana from Cook, Will, and DuPage counties in Illinois.
