Description

Interstate 294 is a tolled Interstate Highway in northeastern Illinois. It forms the southern portion of the Tri-State Tollway in Illinois. I-294 runs from South Holland at I-80/I-94, and Illinois Route 394 to Northbrook at I-94. I-294 is 53.42mi long; 5.32mi are shared with I-80. It serves as a bypass around the city of Chicago. I-294 is also the longest auxiliary route of I-94, at 10mi longer than I-494 in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. The tollway is also the longest auxiliary Interstate Highway in Illinois.Route descriptionI-294 has four of the Tri-State Tollway's six mainline barriers. These are located at: 163rd Street 82nd Street (southbound) and 83rd Street (northbound) Cermak Road Irving Park Road (IL 19; southbound) and Touhy Avenue (northbound) The fifth and sixth are on I-94 near Waukegan and the other is near DeerfieldHistoryThe portion of the Borman Expressway that was completed from Gary westward and the Kingery Expressway were originally designated as I-80, I-90, and I-294 from shortly after the Interstate Highway program was enacted until about 1965, when the connection between the Borman and the Indiana Toll Road was completed, and I-90 was swapped with I-94 west of that junction (and east of where those routes share the same road in Chicago), cutting back I-294 to its current south terminus (eliminating the Indiana part of I-294). Indiana later proposed to extend I-294 east on the current Borman Expressway to Indiana State Route 912, before having it turn north at that point, west at U.S. Route 12, and then back to I-94, most likely somewhere on the Bishop Ford Freeway near 130th Street. The request was denied.
