Interstate 355 is a north-south highway in Chicago's western and southwestern suburbs. Interstate 355 is almost completely tolled, save for the northern couple miles north of Army Trail Road. Interstate 290 provides the northern end of Interstate 290 near Addison and Itasca, and the southern end is at Interstate 80 near New Lenox, in Will County. The same corridor continues north as freeway along Interstate 290 and Illinois 53, up to the Lake/Cook County line.
Interstate 355's exits and mileage markers are listed in increasing order from south to north, as that type of numbering scheme is customary for north-south highways.
Interstate 355's southern beginning is at Interstate 80, just east of Joliet, near New Lenox. The southern end marker sits next to the split into ramps for Exit 0A to Interstate 80 west toward Indiana, and for Exit 0B to Interstate 80 east toward Iowa:
