The average speed through the “spaghetti bowl”–named for all of the ramps that connect the three expressways–is 29 miles per hour.
Two other Chicago area bottlenecks also made the top ten.
Coming in at No. 6 is the Interstate 65 and Interstate 80 exchange in Gary, Ind. At No. 8: the Kennedy-Edens expressway junction on the North Side.
