Elgin-O'Hare Expressway

April 9, 2008

Elgin-O'Hare Expressway/ el GIN oh HARE ex press way / n./ An optimistically named suburban highway that is the butt of many jokes because it reaches neither Elgin nor O'Hare -- and is often backed up. The roughly six-mile road, located near Schaumburg and Roselle, opened in 1993 with ambitious plans to someday link Elgin to the airport. Yet it now only connects Hanover Park to Itasca, ending at U.S. Route 20 to the west and I-290 to the east.
