answer:If it’s sending you up I-90, I’d avoid it like the plague. That goes toward O’Hare, and this afternoon that will be jammed with people leaving for the holiday. You’d be better off staying on I-80 till you’re past Chicago, then connecting with I-355 to head north to I- 290. That swings you out west of O’Hare and, according to Mapquest, doesn’t add any time to the trip. Here’s the route. Have a great trip!
