VAM24 Location: 
McCormick Place West Building
2301 S. Indiana Ave
Chicago, IL 60616

Beginning in March 2024, and through the fall of 2024, the Illinois Department of Transportation will be in Phase Two of a three-year project on the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94), from the Edens Expressway (I-94) junction to Ohio Street. This project will impact traffic to/from O’Hare International Airport to/from downtown, especially during rush hour periods. More information on this construction project can be found here.  

It is recommended to fly into Midway Airport, when possible, given the proximity to McCormick Place and the increased traffic from O’Hare. However, if O’Hare is the preferred airport for your flight options, it is suggested to avoid rush hour periods, or utilize Public Transportation, specifically the CTA “Blue” line from O’Hare to downtown.  

Public Transportation: 

Public Transportation is the most affordable and convenient way to get to McCormick Place. For complete public transportation information, please click here.  

The CTA “L” trains provide service to Downtown Chicago and McCormick Place from both international airports. 

From O’Hare International Airport: The CTA “Blue” line provides service to and from the airport. Take the Blue Line from O’Hare and transfer to a southbound Green Line train at the Clark and Lake stop. Note, in the Loop the Blue Line is a Subway Train and the Green Line is an elevated train, a free transfer is available at the Clark and Lake stop. 

From Midway Airport: The CTA “Orange” line provides service to and from the airport. Take the train to the Roosevelt Street Station (Subway) and transfer to the elevated Green Line Station. Continue on the southbound Green Line train for 1-stop to the Cermak-McCormick Place station. 

The Cermak-McCormick Place Station is 2 block (0.15 miles) walk from the Northwest Corner of the McCormick Place West Building. 

Please click here for helpful information for using Metra to travel from McCormick Place to Midway or O’Hare airports.
