I'll be coming from south (I-65 N) to Schaumburg this Sunday just before Labor day and need advise on what would be the best route once near Chicago.
Option 1: Continue on I-65 N until it merges into I-90 and then continue on I-90 W (the Northwest tollway), pass O'Hare and then take my exit for Schaumburg.
Option 2: Avoid I-90 as passing through downtown, it could be having heavy traffic. Instead to turn into I-80/94 W just short of point where I-65 mergrs into I-90. Then get into I-294 N, and finally into I-355/290 N and take my Schaumburg exit from there. The directions also show me that if I take this route, there is a possibility of delay due to a construction from US-12 to Indiana State line (doesn't tells me what direction of the highway the construction is on).
Distance-wise both options are same. If someone who frequently uses these routes around Chicago could give practical advise on what route would be best to take from time/traffic perspective considering the day.
