How can I avoid downtown Chicago when traveling from Milwaukee to Indianapolis?
I'm leaving from Milwaukee, WI and going to Indianapolis, IN. Is there any way to bypass or go around downtown Chicago as to avoid traffic! I appreciate your help!

Your best bet is to try to take the 294 which goes around the outskirts of the city and take it until the 80. Take the 80 east towards the 65 and take that south until Indianapolis.

Take I-294. It goes around the city. Taking I-80 is the best way across the south end of the Lake, but beware. The traffic on I-80 is horrendous. Although you are not going through downtown, you are using a thoroughfare that is just as busy. This main highway is one of the major thoroughfares to the suburbs from the city. I am not sure if the below link works but it is from Googlemaps. The detour wil add 15-30 minutes on to your trip.
