I-94 through Chicago

We live south of Atlanta and hate taking I-75 through Atlanta but we know it is doable early Saturday or Sunday morning. My question is can you get through Chicago on I-94 early Saturday or Sunday morning. By early I mean around 8-9 AM. A friend said to take I-294 but also said that could be a pain if you do not have an I-pass or equivalent. We will be pulling a 31ft TT. Thanks for any advice.

    Early Sat or Sun morning? No worries. Unless it's raining or snowing. I used to make that run from Valdosta to Milwaukee - avoided I294
  • What is your destination? Are you stopping in Chicago, or just passing through?
  • I Drive truck to Chicago every day, the only time that is good is in the middle of the night but even then you would be surprised at how much traffic there is then.

    I would NOT recommend taking a trailer through downtown Chicago on 94......EVER.
  • Just went to Door co wi, went west at Indy on 74 north on 39 , about a hundard miles further, but a lot less hassle, went thru Chicago on a Sunday morning on 294 by 7:30 traffic was heavy, plus always road work going on on both
