Report: Chicago is the most congested city in the country

In perhaps the least surprising news for Chicago drivers, we just surpassed New York City as the most congested city in the U.S.

But, wait, there's more. We're No. 3 in the world, right behind Istanbul and Mexico City, according to the 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard by INRIX.

By the numbers: Commuters lost 112 hours to congestion this year, which cost each driver about $2,000.

Reality check: We know what you're thinking. "The 🤬 Kennedy!"

• Yes, but: According to the report, the busiest corridor is actually I-55 from Archer Avenue to South Lawler Avenue.
