Commutes to Chicago and O’Hare International Airport
Chicago’s bustling downtown is only 35 miles away via Interstate 88 or Interstate 55, so commuting in the morning may take an hour or more. O’Hare International Airport is about 32 miles north via Interstate 88 and then Interstate 294. Leaving early for a flight is necessary when traffic starts to get congested throughout the day. Copley Memorial Hospital is about 10 miles and around 20 minutes to the northwest in case of an emergency. Though Bolingbrook’s Clow International Airport is right in town, it is predominantly used for smaller, personal aircraft and is home to the Illinois Aviation Museum.
To explore Chicago, hop on Interstate-55, and you’ll be in the city in around 35 minutes.
