I-355 was built to decongest IL 53 for drivers entering and exiting Joliet, IL from and to DuPage County, IL. It was completed on Christmas Eve of 1989 when it links I-55 and I-290 IL. The '90s rolled and I-355 was a successful tollway at that time and is still a successful tollway to this day. In the 2000s, it was decided to extend I-355 to link I-80 to the south, and with that, the southern extension was completed on November 11, 2007.
My most favorite part is the I-88 IL/I-355 interchange where both carriageways of those interstates run beside each other for a mile. Near that interchange is where you find the Illinois Tollway Headquarters and it's linked with US 34/Ogden Ave.
I forgot to mention that the portion of I-355 between I-290 IL & Army Trail Blvd is a free portion, not a tolled portion. IDOT did the right thing to do that, even though I-355 isn't all tolled, but mostly tolled.
Did you know what it is the best thing ever for years is a little bit more than usual and then the rest of the world is a few minutes to the other two of the same place
Good video. Great choice of music! Especially 'What a Fool Believes', I remember using it also in one of mine 😁
Thanks! It’s super chill for road trips
I agree, that is a great music choice!

Great drive! How much is the toll on entire Interstate 355 without I-PASS discount?
I believe it was $7.40

There was a proposal to extend I-355 to I-57
What soundtrack do you have on your I-294 video from earlier?
The old one that got blocked contained Fall Out Boy, A.F.I., and Blink-182. Guess it was being super sensitive to pop punk
@@CoolERoadTrips What are the songs?
@@kennypalermo9071 songs included Beat It, The Take Over The Breaks Over, and First Date
