Romeoville Location
Romeoville has long enjoyed a convenient location, ever since its days as a stop on the I & M Canal.
Romeoville is bounded by nearby Interstates 55, 80 and 355, as well downtown Joliet and its network of neighborhood and arterial roads, giving it easy access to downtown Chicago and any number of suburban locations. Two Metra train lines run daily to nearby Joliet, as does the Pace bus service. The I & M Canal affords easy water travel, just as it has done for hundreds of years.
Romeoville is only 20 minutes from Midway Airport and 30 minutes from O’Hare International Airport. The Lewis University Airport has played an important role in the village’s history, and maintains a strong presence in the community. The Airport provides commercial, industrial, institutional and personal aviation services to Will County, and also serves as a general aviation reliever for O’Hare and Midway airports.
The Airport offers a number of amenities, including aircraft storage, a pilot’s lounge and conference room, and for the general public, a helicopter shuttle service to and from Chicagoland Speedway, adding a convenient and efficient way of getting to and from one of the region’s most exciting racing attractions.
The Lewis University Airport, which since 1989 has been owned and operated by the Joliet Regional Port District, still maintains a strong relationship with the University. The University flight department leases space at the airport for its 30 or so airplanes, and members of both institutions frequently share input on curriculum and personnel recommendations.
Lewis’ Department of Aviation offers majors in Aviation Administration, Aviation Flight, Aviation Maintenance, Aviation Security and a M.S. in Aviation and Transportation.
