South Loop: Home to Chicago's Infamous Bottlenecks

For those of you who frequently use the South Loop Dan Ryan exits and entrances, this probably isn't shocking. According to a new study of traffic patterns, the South Loop is home to 6 of the nations 100 worst bottlenecks. The worst is supposedly where the northbound side of the Dan Ryan expressway passes over Canalport Avenue (1). Others include:
  • Intersection of the northbound Dan Ryan Expressway and Ruble Street
  • Road segment near the northbound Dan Ryan Expressway and 18th Street
  • Road segment near the northbound Dan Ryan Expressway and Roosevelt Road
  • Road segment near the northbound Dan Ryan Expressway and Taylor Street
  • The "circle" intersection of the westbound Kennedy Expressway and the Dan Ryan Expressway
Happy Driving!

  1. I think the good thing to note is if you are coming Southbound you can get right through the circle and off at any of the South Loop exits with hardly a problem at all!!
