The Kennedy Expressway is a 26 mile (42 km) long highway that travels northwest from the Chicago loop to O'Hare Airport. The Interstate 90 portion of the Kennedy is a part of the much longer I-90 (which runs 3111.52 miles from Boston, Massachusetts to Seattle, Washington). The Kennedy's official endpoints are the Circle Interchange with Interstate 290 (Eisenhower Expressway / Congress Parkway) and the Dan Ryan Expressway (also I-90/94) at the east end, and the O'Hare Airport terminals at the west end. The Interstate 190 portion of the Kennedy is 3 miles long (5 km) and is meant to serve airport traffic.

Traveling eastbound from O'Hare, the Kennedy interchanges with the eastern terminus of the Northwest Tollway (Interstate 90) and with the Tri-State Tollway (Interstate 294) at a complex junction just west of Illinois State Route 171 (Cumberland Avenue). The Kennedy then later merges with the southern end of the Edens Expressway (Interstate 94) at Montrose Avenue; the Kennedy (at this point both I-90 and I-94) then turn south to its junction with the Dan Ryan and Eisenhower Expressways and Congress Parkway at the Circle Interchange in downtown Chicago.
