Make sure you bring plenty of change no matter what time you come through. All around Chicago until you get past the western suburbs, it's toll booth city every 5 to 10 miles. Also, like Chewie said, watch the exit and interchange signs carefully. A few years back I was making a trip from Ohio to the western Suburbs (Carol Stream), and missed an interchange and ended up on what I believe was the Stevenson Expressway headed for downtown Chicago. During the evening rush hour. Had to think back 20+ years on how to get from downtown Chicago out to the western suburbs. Not an easy thing considering all the construction over the years. Robert
