Location and Transportation
The western suburbs of Chicago cover more than 85 square miles of Cook County. The area lies near the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek, and continues out to the I&M Canal. Other communities abut the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce and Industry area, like Brookfield, Justice, Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, Summit and Westchester.
Tourist and commuter travel is easily facilitated by the Interstates 290, 55, 355 and the 294 Tri-State Tollway. We are positioned about 30 minutes from either O’Hare or Midway Airports and barely 30 minutes from downtown Chicago.
For daily commuters or tourists heading to downtown Chicago or many other nearby communities, Metra and Amtrak serve local train stations in Brookfield, La Grange, Western Springs, Willow Springs and Summit. There are multiple Pace bus routes that link travelers to all of West Cook County. For business needs, the Indiana Harbor Belt Line and Burlington Northern provide rail service, while the sanitary canal handles barge traffic.
