The first four miles (6.4 km) segment of this extension, opened at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 1, 2017, stretching from the interchange with I-290 in Itasca to IL 83 in Bensenville. The official groundbreaking for the expansion took place on October 29, 2013. This interchange may also incorporate ramps into a planned western terminal at O'Hare. ISTHA began constructing an eastward extension of IL 390 to a new interchange on the western border of O'Hare International Airport with the planned I-490 connecting I-90 to the north and I-294 to the south. Shortly after, maintenance of the road was transferred to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA), and toll collection on the existing segment from US 20 in Hanover Park to I-290 in Itasca began in 2016. On October 29, 2013, IDOT announced that the highway was re-designated IL 390 at groundbreaking ceremonies for the Elgin–O’Hare Western Access Project. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), average daily traffic counts (in 2003) for IL 390 are 39,600 vehicles for the western two miles (3.2 km) and around 82,000 to 87,000 cars per day for the remainder. This arrangement caused large backups during weekday rush hours. When the highway first opened, both of its termini had traffic signals with major arterial roads in the area. Governor Jim Edgar opened the highway at an afternoon ceremony on November 2, 1993. Construction on the highway began around 1991 and was completed two years later. Although Lake Street was extensively widened prior to the completion of the highway, initially to Glen Ellyn Road and then to the Roselle-Bloomingdale border nearly ten years later, its capacity was still considered insufficient for the rapidly growing western suburbs. Around that time, congestion was rapidly increasing on local roads, especially US 20 (Lake Street). Markers for the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway on Wright Boulevard in SchaumburgĪlthough the concept of an Elgin–O'Hare Expressway dates back to the 1960s, the highway was not seriously considered until the late 1980s. IL 390 was the first route in the state to have all-electronic toll collection, predating the 2021 conversion to all-electronic tolling on all Illinois State Toll Highway Authority roads cash is not accepted, and an I-Pass/ E-ZPass is required. IL 390 continues east for four miles (6.4 km) through Wood Dale, Elk Grove Village (again), and Bensenville, and finally ends at an interchange with IL 83 in Bensenville just short of the west side of O'Hare International Airport. Continuing east for five miles (8.0 km), IL 390 traverses portions of the suburbs of Schaumburg, Roselle, Medinah, Elk Grove Village, and then has an interchange with IL 53 before a major interchange with I-290 in Itasca. At Meacham Road, the highway crosses back south into DuPage County. The highway then enters Cook County from DuPage County and has an interchange with IL 19 (Irving Park Road). IL 390 begins at an interchange with US 20 in Hanover Park and branches off northeastward as a six-lane toll road, traveling over a half-mile-long (0.8 km) bridge over the Metra Milwaukee District West Line tracks, and some wetlands.
Construction is underway to extend the road from IL 83 to the western edge of O'Hare International Airport. The only other towns it borders are Schaumburg and Roselle.
