I-90 East to Chicago - Kennedy Expressway

[@declan8546]

I love the music

[@jasonmims5057]

Very accelerating ride through Chicago. I loved the music because it added to the video

[@rad1965]

Really well done. i can tell u put a lot of hard work and hours into this. Love the timelapse and the information along the way..Awesome

[@islandofthemoon]

That is an EXCELLENT video. And one thing Illinois does well is highway signage; I give them an A-.

[@FreewayBrent]

Anyway, great overall video and excellent views of my favorite skyline in the country. Going to the favorites section.

[@Freewayjim]

Excellent video and production as well as a great route. Nice to see the roads are so well lit, fling that away for future reference :)

[@TheNate1810]

I love this video!! I've traveled that leg of I-90 into downtown chicago soo many times!! On a good day, you can see the skyline about 20 miles away!! That put right around the O-hare area! Great video!!!

[@FreewayBrent]

Man, I dunno how in the heck I didn't see this video until now. Damn, you have really started to utilize the editing to the fullest in your most recent videos. Love it. The Kennedy Expwy; that roadway easily ranks up there with the worst I've seen anywhere in Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay Area. Back in 2006, even after 10 p.m., I still spent almost 1 hour driving the Kennedy from the Loop to the I-90/I-94 split. Situation may have improved since, with the current economy...

[@jestermcnasty]

That is an amazing road to drive at 2am, no cards or nothing just you and the road.

[@anthonybryant4944]

***** It sure does, it connects Chicago's skyline and length of the freeways and highways.

[@anthonybryant4944]

***** Chicago is known as pizza city!

[@anthonybryant4944]

***** How is it?

[@anthonybryant4944]

***** NYC is my city better than Chicago!

[@anthonybryant4944]

***** I rate Chicago a 8!

[@nas2170]

The Circle (Jane Bryne) Interchange you mentioned from 2:40 to 2:46, There is construction on a new flyover ramp from I-90/I-94 West (Dan Ryan Expressway facing Northbound) Concurrency to I-290/IL-110 (C-KC and Eisenhower Expressway Concurrency facing Westbound) which is expected to be completed by 2017 next year in Chicago, IL.

[@nas2170]

Not exactly. I didn't see any construction proposals for it to be like The Chicago Skyway.

[@Jackyliu009]

Highway92B The flyover is open on one lane. Expected to finish two lanes in 2018

[@SlowedByCinnamxn]

The Jane Byrne Interchange was completed in December 2022.

[@sal-the-man]

I’m glad, I’ve been on it and it’s a massive improvement

[@dave11686]

I hope you enjoyed the trip to my city!

[@AlvinHDavernport]

@kingzo72788 I think Chicago is a very welcoming city, both physically and in terms of the people, and as eluko said I doubt you'd feel out of place. People up in Chicago are quite warm and hospitable everywhere you go, and there's all kinds of environments within the Chicagoland area, going from Manhattan-type urban to typical Midwestern rural.

[@samhyomin899]

great choice of music,chicago is home of house music! edm!

[@dpm8630]

1:10 4800 Lawrence Ave. Closed. Hmm wonder why?

[@kenstu]

I really like the ambiance along the expressway at night. It has since been changed with the installation of cool white LED lighting, which makes it difficult to see at night because they're so bright.

[@declan8546]

me too

[@pescadornovato9423]

You should take the same route this year 2020 but at day :)

[@uptownbronze]

Man, I'm loving this. Thanks so much by giving Chi-town its day. UB

[@Speeder105]

@WiiGoGetter Those lanes in the middle of the Expressway are actually reversible Express lanes.

[@Hooozyer]

THANK YOU. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

awesome vid! A police car at 3:53 with only blue lights?

[@mtp160788]

2:12 lol damn

[@roth1038]

Classic Chicago driver

[@EdgeXXI]

Funny thing; when I first heard of the Dan Ryan Expwy, I thought of the former sportcaster here in Tucson of the same name. I knew from the beginning that wasn't right. :)

[@coldsteel2204]

I need to go back to Chicago again to see family! I do like the Illinois roadways better. One thing I learned when I went to Chicago many years back is that drivers don't screw around. They got a place to go and GET to.

[@AlvinHDavernport]

Ah, Chicago, how I miss you. Best fucking city in the world. I always thought of Chicago drivers as a remarkably decent bunch. That's why my eyes almost popped out at 2:12. Such a Houston thing to do, man.

[@Fanik10]

Excellent Job!!

[@outlawcountryman]

@kingzo72788 im from south carolina and i know what you mean, i moved from simpsonville ' a small ass town" to chicago, it really showed me how big the world is in a sense, chicago was a fun town and there is plenty to do, i felt outta place for a while, but after your there for a month you'll submerge into the whole thing.

[@Zacksproductions1]

Hey! Go past wriglely field and right behind it is cornilia street..please go on that!! hahaha

[@adrianroam95]

nice expresslanes there. kinda like how I-5 thru seattle's set up.

[@QuazamasterGamer]

I miss chicago ;-;

[@jamueltidwell7318]

I live in Northwest Indiana I visit there about 1 time a month

[@kyannabreeze6285]

We going in June 2020

[@kendodubbag72]

Chicago is the craziest place I've ever drove, especially on them expressways it's like there's no speed limit.

[@ghaslerud]

You must have done this in October because of all the pink on the buildings. I love this vid and the music :)

[@trimkabashi]

Hi Eluko, might I ask what you use to shoot your videos? I'm impressed by the general quality of your videos, particularly at night. Thanks!

[@WiiGoGetter]

i bet its backed up a lot in rush hour there. i counted 10 lanes at the most for 330000 cars a day thats unless theres HOV lanes witch i think i see

[@SlowedByCinnamxn]

Yes PLEASE add HOV Lanes in Illinois especially Chicago

[@Hooozyer]

THANK YOU. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. SPEED LIMIT 40? IS FUNNY.

[@Bradhahn14]

Y'know,, Eluko, I currently live in Peoria, IL, which is only a three hour drive from Chicago. You could've stopped by and recorded footage for your time lapse videos! Oh wait.... we only have three major "freeways" through Peoria: I-74, I-474 and Illinois Route 6. Neeeevermind. I suppose you'd need a lot of freeway to shoot vids. Nice vid though!

[@wtlf1026]

I would like to see IL-6 expanded beyond its current northern terminus in Mossville at some point in my lifetime, or during my time in Peoria (planning to move out west at some point)

[@growingup15]

Whats the name of the song?

[@Jackyliu009]

growingup15 Neuk - Never Forget

[@wadqandeell9161]

Put the normal vedio and open window of ur car plise 🤗🤗🤗

[@NorthernWindNut]

That was some mighty fine driving. Lol I'd get murdered in that. I've driven in downtown Kansas City before but that seems like child's play compared to this.

[@AlvinHDavernport]

@ps3or360idontknow It's not that Chicago is better, it's that it's a completely different city from those two. Houston and Dallas offer things that Chicago doesn't and vice versa.

[@ramen2858]

thats in night tour

[@detroitmetro101]

i agree, dallas and houston make great suburbs...lol

[@riolindasucks]

That downtown interchange is a real pile of crap. IL has no average interchanges. They are either really great: (80@355, 55@355, 88@355, 290@355, 80/294@94/394, 88@294, 57@94, 90/94@55) Or they are really shitty (both 290 termini at either end of 90, 294@55, 290@294 and my favorite 294@57 where there is NO interchange (one is in the works though FINALLY). They rebuilt 80@55 but left it as a goddamn cloverleaf. IL kills me.

[@wtlf1026]

I like the crazy multi-stack interchanges where there are ramps soaring high in the sky above the freeways. (55@355 for example) Cloverleafs, and really any interchange that doesn’t have at least 1 flyover are boring and not creative IMO.

[@itsk3v]

Been on I-90/94 many times..its hell during rush hour, and everybody there drives crazy. Makes me glad i dont live in chicago

[@jamuelcartertidwell9792]

Shut up

[@pheonixltt]

Thats were im moving!

[@redsmokeftw4763]

BTW, there’s a new mayor in this city.

[@kingzo72788]

I would feel so weird and out off place if i went to Chicago. One im from the south so i maybe wont fit in so well to the northern ways and the cold wheater. Two im from a small city Birmingham AL. Well Birmingham is the biggest city in Alabama but it seems like a small city compared to the other major cities in US. I would love to go to Chicago and maybe live there its jus so far away.

[@NorthernWindNut]

Lol I'd rather not if at all possible. If I ever have to go to New York I'll just use a cab to get around.
