Proximity to Markets
I-88 West’s strategic location could easily be considered the community’s number one asset for modern day logistics, with unsurpassed access to the world’s markets and a significant cost advantage.
With a prime location between Chicago, the Quad Cities, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, I-88 West sits at the crossroads of I-90, 39, and 88 in one of the nation’s strongest manufacturing states. These are intersected by multiple state highways and supplemented by access to four airports (including Chicago’s O’Hare International), a Global Intermodel III hub nearby, and two national rail lines, making logistics a mainstay in this region.
A blue-ribbon study of the nation’s intermodal transportation system recently conducted by the United States Chamber of Commerce suggests that I-88 West is strategically located in the highest volume of goods flow corridor in the entire nation.
