In heavy traffic, the driving time to downtown on the Ike is between 30 and 40 minutes. | If you are heading to points north -- The Belmont/Halstead area or other locations north of the "River North", the cogniscenti skip the Ike, and will take Ridgeland Avenue to North Avenue, (or keep going on Narraganset to Belmont or Irving Park) then head east into town (about 8 miles).
