How to get to Argonne:

By air:

ANL is about 45 minutes by car from each of the Chicago airports,
O'Hare and Midway  Limousine service is available from
each, and major car rental agencies serve both airports.


By train:

The Burlington Northern Railroad provides commuter service for
Chicago's southwestern suburbs. These trains, which leave from Union
Station in downtown Chicago, stop in Westmont at the Cass Avenue train
station. From the station, taxi service is available to ANL.

From O'Hare Airport, drive east (toward Chicago) on Interstate 190
to the exit for Interstate 294 south (toward Indiana). Go south on
Interstate 294 to the exit for Interstate 55 south (toward St Louis);
take Interstate 55 south to the southbound Cass Avenue exit (Exit
273A) off lnterstate 55. Northgate Road, the entrance to the
Laboratory's North Gate and Visitor Reception Center, is on the right,
less than 0.5 miles (1.6 kilometers from the end of the exit ramp.

From Midway Airport, take Cicero Avenue north to Interstate 55
