Starting your journey from the Gold Coast neighborhood in zip code 60610 gives you two main driving choices depending on traffic. The quickest route often uses the Kennedy Expressway (I-90 West). To begin, head south or west from your location near Lake Shore Drive or State Street to reach an expressway entrance ramp. You can easily access I-90 West using Ontario Street, Division Street, or North Avenue depending on your exact starting block in 60610.
Once you merge onto I-90 West toward Wisconsin, stay in the center or left lanes to avoid local exit merge congestion. Drive northwest past the West Loop, Bucktown, and Avondale areas. Watch for exit 44B for Irving Park Road (Illinois Route 19). As you approach the exit ramp, get into the right lane early. The exit puts you right near the intersection of Keeler Avenue and Irving Park Road.
At the end of the exit ramp, turn left onto West Irving Park Road to head west. You will pass under the railway tracks and drive through the quiet neighborhood of Old Irving Park. Continue straight west past Kilbourn Avenue as you approach the major Six Corners intersection. This famous area is where Irving Park Road, Cicero Avenue, and Milwaukee Avenue all meet together in Irving Park.
