EDENS EXPRESSWAY
Interstate 94 (I-94) generally runs north-south through the northeastern portion of the US state of Illinois, in Lake and Cook counties. It is signed east-west in Illinois in accordance with its general alignment across the country, with west signage aligned with northbound travel and east signage aligned with southbound travel. I-94 in Illinois is 61.53 miles (99.02 km) long.
The William G. Edens Expressway (also known as the Edens Parkway and the Edens Superhighway) is the main major expressway north from the city of Chicago to Northbrook. Only the short portion from the spur ramp to the expressway's end in Highland Park does not carry I-94. It was the first expressway in Chicago and was opened on December 20, 1951. It has three lanes in each direction. The original name of the expressway was the Edens Parkway, named after William Grant Edens (1863-1957), a banker and early advocate for paved roads. He was a sponsor of Illinois's first highway bond issue in 1918.
