United Livery:
630-969-3865 or out of state 1/800-826-0341
To reach Argonne 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). I294 is a toll road, so you will need $0.95 in change (there are two tolls at $0.40 and one at $0.15) for the automatic lanes. Alternatively, you can use the manual lanes with a human toll taker. Take I55 south to the exit for South Cass Avenue. Exit at South Cass Ave, drive over the overpass, and you will see the sign for Argonne National Laboratory. Follow the signs and turn into the Laboratory entrance on Northgate Road. Non-citizens will need to stop at the Argonne Information Center to obtain a pass.

From Midway airport, take Cicero Avenue north to the entrance to Interstate 55 south (toward St. Louis), which will be on your left, then proceed as described above.

The Argonne Guest House is on Outer Circle Drive near Meridian, just west of the Mobil Service Station. When you reach Argonne, request further directions from the Argonne Information Center or at the gate. There are signs indicating the route from the gate to the Guest House.

A photo I.D., such as a driver's license or passport, is required for site access. Please enter at the Northgate entrance on Cass Avenue. Go directly to the Guard Post and identify yourself as an attendee at this meeting. You DO NOT need to pick up a pass at the Argonne Information Center.
