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!
