I-55 Hotels

North-South Interstate Between Chicago and New Orleans

The north end of I-55 is a couple of blocks from Lake Michigan in Chicago. Traveling south, the next 300 miles takes you on a diagonal route to St. Louis. From there I-55 sticks pretty close to the Mississippi River all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way you'll pass through Memphis, Tennessee and Jackson, Mississippi. The southern end of the highway is an intersection with I-10 located about 10 miles west of New Orleans.
