Driving North

The Interstate 90 (I-90) is the longest Interstate highway in the United States at 3,102 miles (4,992 km). It is the northernmost coast-to-coast interstate, and parallels US 20 for the most part. To the west, it ends in Seattle, Washington, at Edgar Martinez Drive S. near Safeco Field, and its eastern end is in Boston, Massachusetts, at Route 1A near Logan International Airport. Interstate 90 crosses the Continental Divide over Homestake Pass just east of Butte, Montana.

In the Chicago metropolitan area, I-90 is known by three names from O'Hare International Airport to the Indiana state line. The Kennedy Expressway runs from O'Hare to Interstate 290 and the Chicago Loop. I-90 continues running south of the Loop on part of the Dan Ryan Expressway, and then southeast onto the tolled Chicago Skyway into the state of Indiana.

Whether traveling to Chicago or driving to work as a local commuter, the I-90 serves to connect a local, national, and international crowd to one of the best cities in the world.
