- Relax and take a ride as we travel from Indianapolis Indiana to Chicago Illinois. The road trip starts just outside of downtown Indianapolis and ends in heavy traffic outside of downtown Chicago. It's a pretty straightforward route as we head north on Interstate 65 to I94, then to I90.

I65 through Indiana -
'...North of Lafayette near Brookston, the road passes through the Meadow Lake Wind Farm for several miles, with the turbines and standards spaced out in order to avoid a collapse onto the highway. The Fowler Ridge Wind Farm is also visible on both sides of the highway.' [1]
I90 near Chicago -
'...The freeway, now named the Kennedy Expressway, travels through northwestern Chicago, where the Blue Line of the "L" rapid transit system runs in the median and serves several stops. I-90 turns southeast and is rejoined by I-94 in Irving Park, where it gains a set of reversible express lanes that travel for 6.2 miles (10.0 km) toward the Near West Side.[42]
The Kennedy Expressway travels south through the Near West Side, opposite the Chicago River from the Chicago Loop (the city's central business district), and intersects I-290 again at the Jane Byrne Interchange. The freeway continues onto the Dan Ryan Expressway and crosses the Chicago River near Chinatown and an interchange with I-55. The Dan Ryan is the widest section of I-90, at 12 through lanes, and is split between local and express lanes. I-90/I-94 is joined by the "L" Red Line in the median of the expressway through the city's South Side, where it passes Guaranteed Rate Field, the Illinois Institute of Technology campus, and Washington Park. I-90 splits from the Dan Ryan Expressway in Englewood and turns southeast onto the tolled Chicago Skyway. The tolled Skyway travels towards the Indiana state line, which the freeway crosses near the Calumet River in the East Side.' [2]
I94 nar Chicago -
'...In the state of Illinois, I-94 runs south from Wisconsin to Indiana via downtown Chicago. It is tolled on the Tri-State Tollway to the I-94/I-294 split; it then runs east to the Edens Expressway, where it soon joins again with I-90 on the Kennedy Expressway and turns south through the city of Chicago. I-90 leaves south of downtown Chicago to the Chicago Skyway. At I-80, I-94 runs east to Indiana on the Kingery Expressway.' [3]

Crazy to think about how big the chicago area is. If you drive from Valpo to Racine, even with no traffic, is 2.5 hours.
That's wild. Yeah Chicago is huge
One time, I made this trip in my new fancy pantsy electric car. I did all the calculating which said I should be fine. Well, there was a stiff headwind coming off of lake michigan and I ran out of battery near DeMotte. The best thing I could find was a slow charger and had to sit in the parking lot for 8 hours until it charged. I turned a 3 hour trip into a 12 hour trip...oye vay. Never again.
Oh no, what a bummer! That's crazy!
Have you ever taken the skyway in and out of Chicago? The bridge is amazing
No I sure haven't. I'll have to check that out next time I'm in the area.
@@TheTravelDocketCTC the skyway is a toll road.
