Head east on the 190/Elgin O'Hare. Take Thorndale to Rt. 83 south. Pick up Rt. 19 east through Bensenville and around O'Hare. Take LaGrange (US45) south to Rt. 64/North Ave eastbound into Chicago.
The 290 is a reasonable substitute if the traffic is moving (ha ha ha ha) down to Rt. 64.

I say you are better off taking the train (Metra)! it will take you into downtown Chicago. If you are trying to go somewhere else in the city..you can take the trains in the city (CTA trains & buses) once you get to downtown. I mean, you're better off this way if you are trying to avoid the rush hour traffic.
Don't let people scare you....go wherever you want to go.If it's during rush hours and everyone is getting out of work, yeah you'll be in crowds and traffic. That's common in any big city!

There are thousands of routes to get you from Shaumburg to Chicago. It all depends on what day, and what time of day you're leaving, and which section of Chicago you're going to.
Avoid freeways, tollways, and expressways durring rushhour. These are designed to get you there faster, so logically one would think that they are faster. But in rush hour they can become so congested that you may end up wasting hours of time and gallons of gas.
Thorndale, Devon, and Irving Park road can get very ugly at rush hour.
Goto http://maps.google.com and look up some alternate routes to get to where you need to go. Don't be afraid to try streets you've never traveled on. Just experiement.

There is no easy way but I would take the Eisenhower 290. You can get on 53/355 and it will connect when you do the Elgin OHare.

Take public transportation - it is the only sure way to get anywhere since all the expressways are torn up. It is a nightmare! So sit back and let someone else get you into the loop!

A couple of things...inbound or outbound and at when during the day, am or pm? Makes a difference. Are you heading with the traffic or against it?
