History

Interstate 90 (I-90) is a major east-west highway in the United States that spans across the northern part of the country. In Illinois, I-90 runs through the northern part of the state, connecting the city of Chicago to the Wisconsin state line. Here is a brief history of I-90 in Illinois:

Origins and Planning: The idea for a transcontinental highway system was proposed in the early 20th century, and the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, also known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, marked the beginning of the construction of the Interstate Highway System. The planning and development of I-90 in Illinois were part of this broader national initiative to create a comprehensive highway network.
