At St. Charles, Illinois 64 enters the Chicago metro area and becomes a 4 lane road, taking on the name of Main Street. Just east of St. Charles, Route 64 becomes North Avenue and retains this designation until just before its terminus in Chicago at U.S. 41 (Lake Shore Drive). At Illinois Route 59, the road widens further from 4 lanes to 6 lanes and becomes a divided highway until its intersection with Illinois Route 83 in Elmhurst. From Elmhurst to Interstate 294 it remains a 4-lane surface street, but it widens to a 6 lane divided highway once again through the towns of Stone Park and Maywood. At the Des Plaines River and Illinois Route 43, North Avenue becomes 4 lanes for the rest of its route through Chicago.

Illinois 64 has one alternate route; Illinois Truck Route 64, a bypass around a truck-prohibited, residential section of Elmhurst. Eastbound truck traffic is rerouted north along Illinois Route 83, east along U.S. Highway 20 (Lake Street) and then onto Interstate 290 before being allowed to return to Illinois 64. Westbound truck traffic follows the same route in reverse. This route was established when the road was reconstructed from 1996 to 1999 to ease traffic concerns.

History

SBI Route 64 was Illinois 64 from Sycamore to Chicago. In 1937 it was extended west to what was then U.S. Route 51 (and is now Illinois Route 251). Afterwards, it was extended further west to U.S. Route 52, and then following it to the state line. Much like Illinois Route 92, there is no particular reason for extending Route 64 through Iowa and Nebraska, as existing U.S. Routes served any major cities on the State Route 64s better.^[2] Sycamore is a city in DeKalb County, Illinois, United States. ...
