Tackling The Junction List
The junction list for this road is already listed in its respective tollway parts. Should this info be copied, or should those toll segments be linked to instead of having a junction list in this article?

I'm seeing exit numbers get placed along the Rockford/Roscoe section of the Toll road. Southbound only as of 3/21. — master sonT - C 23:39, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Tollway merger
I would like to propose merging Jane Addams Memorial Tollway into this article. All of the tollway is part of I-90, so it doesn't make any sense here to have two articles to cover the same stretch of road. –Fredddie™ 05:12, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- I support this. VC 06:30, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Lane configuration
Interstate 90 runs through downtown Chicago, resulting in some odd lane configurations when compared to downtown arteries like the Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia:
From north to south:
- Wisconsin state line to Rockton Road (2.7 miles)[1] -- 4 lanes (2 lanes in each direction)
- Rockton Road to Interstate 39 split (14.5 miles) -- 6 lanes (3 lanes in each direction with a 4th on approach to I-39)
- Interstate 39 split to Randall Road (35 miles) -- 4 lanes (2 lanes in each direction)
- Randall Road to Tri-State Tollway (I-294) (25.7 miles) -- 6 lanes (3 lanes in each direction plus a variable 1-2 collector/distributor lanes near Elgin toll plaza, the I-290/IL-53 interchange, and the I-294/I-190 interchange)
- Tri-State Tollway to Edens Expressway (I-94) (6.8 miles) -- 6 lanes (3 lanes each way)
- Edens Junction to Ohio Street (7 miles) -- 10 lanes (2 reversible, 4 westbound, 4 eastbound)
- Ohio Street to Eisenhower Expressway (Interstate 290) (1.1 miles) -- 10 lanes (5 westbound, 5 eastbound)
- At the Eisenhower Expressway (0.4 miles) -- 6 lanes (3 westbound, 3 eastbound)
- From the Eisenhower Expressway to the Stevenson Expressway (Interstate 55) (1.8 miles) -- 10 lanes (5 eastbound, 5 westbound)
- From the Stevenson Expressway to the 47th Street Slip (3 miles) -- 14 lanes (express: 4 lanes each way, local: 3 lanes each way)
- Between the 47th Street and 51st Street Slip Ramps (0.5 miles) -- 14 lanes (express: 3 lanes each way, local: 4 lanes each way)
- 51st Street to the Chicago Skyway (Interstate 90) (2 miles) -- 14 (same configuration as north of 47th, although one eastbound express lane transitions into the Skyway slip).
- Entire stretch of Chicago Skyway to Indiana (7.2 miles) -- 6 lanes (3 lanes each way)
When returned, the first bullet is 6 lanes now — master sonT - C 23:41, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Skyway now officially part of I-90?
On a recent trip on the Chicago Skyway, I noticed the "TO" signs had been removed. The road is now signed only as I-90. I also noticed new mile marker and exit number signs, measured correctly from the Wisconsin state line at Beloit. (e.g. The exit sign for Stony Island now reads "Exit 103".) I have been searching for some reference of this change, and I've come up with nothing so far. I didn't want to make this a change in the main article until I found some confirming reference. What has happened? Did the city drop its silly argument about it not being officially I-90? Did AASHTO make some ruling? Anybody? RogerD (talk) 22:30, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
