When I was nine years old, I took the Stevenson Expressway out of Chicago. I didn’t know I’d been on that expressway until very recently. It was definitely I-55, because we went through St. Louis after leaving Illinois. I’m now an Adlai Stevenson dork, so I was so elated to find out that I’d been on his namesake expressway. (This was before Obama became President, so the DuPage portion was not yet the Obama Expressway.) Edit: The DuPage portion is the Will Rogers. Meh.
Interstate 55 travels north from LaPlace, LA just northwest of New Orleans to Chicago totaling 964.2 miles
Nice ride along interstate 55 south in Chicago
25:50 I am too used to Bollingbrook St in Petersburg, VA, to like seeing Bolingbrook with only one "l".
Awesome drive! Did you get I-55 North in Chicago or did traffic prevent you from getting I-55 North?
Didn't have time.
wait, I-55 ends at lakeshore drive? i didn't know, but it looks that way.
Yep. Lakeshore drive to I-10 in Louisiana
