I've gone and tagged this article and the Edens Spur article to be merged, because I've never seen them treated individually - except here on Wikipedia. If you have a look at http://www.illinoistollway.com/portal/page?_pageid=57,1298863,57_1298877&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL for instance, you can see that the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority treats the Spur as part of the Tri-State. See also their System Map at http://www.illinoistollway.com/portal/page?_pageid=57,1302473,57_1302480:57_1302491&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL -- JohnDBuell 23:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Thornton Quarry is described as being west of Halsted Street. I have stopped at a Tri-State rest stop near a large quarry that was east of Halsted. Is this the same quarry? Could someone from Chicago verify if the description of Thornton Quarry is correct.
The inital description of the article mentions that Interstate 294 ends in Wheeling and turns into Interstate 94 up to Waukegan. Is this accurate? I believe that 294 extends a bit north of Wheeling and turns into 94 around Deerfield Road or Lake Cook Road. Isn't that officially the town of Deerfield? -- Gantry 22:49, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I worked for the engineering consulting firm Metcalf & Eddy that widenend and resurfaced three tollway segments in the mid-1970s.
They should stay separate as the main subject of this article is the Tri-State Tollway. The Edens Spur is a "related route", much as M-554 is related to M-553 or M-44 has its connector. The spur here is not a disconnected section of the main highway; rather it's a spur. It should have its own section and infobox. Imzadi 1979 → 18:22, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
The "Features" and "Lingo" sections should be combined and reworked into a proper "Route description" section. Hopefully when that's done, the promotional/advertising tone can be eliminated.
The mileages should be revised to use a consistent precision, especially now that our templates convert them into metric for non-American readers. Imzadi 1979 → 16:38, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
The entire length of I-294 is part of the Tri-State Tollway Dough 48 72 00:01, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
This should really have its own independent article separate from the other three Interstate Highway articles, similar to the ways that Kansas Turnpike is a separate article from I-35 and I-335, and Connecticut Turnpike is separate from I-95 and I-395. 98.118.32.140 ( talk) 13:25, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
2601:187:4581:7F50:B8F6:4571:7A43:464D ( talk) made what appears to be a constructive edit to this article in 2019, and I was curious if it should not have been reverted? I am still fairly new to understanding the processes to edit Wikipedia right now, so it would be nice to know if I am missing something obvious that makes the edit not good for Wikipedia.
