Armitage Avenue is an east-west street in Chicago and its western suburbs, being located at 2000 North in the Chicago address system, two and one-half miles north of Madison Street. Its west end is located at Addison Road in the western suburb of Addison. In the western suburbs, it is a minor road, being split into many segments, usually by freeways. Armitage Avenue becomes a major street at its intersection with Grand Avenue in Chicago, continuing east until Mendell Street, just east of its interchange with Interstates 90 and 94 (Kennedy Expressway), and just west of the North Branch of the Chicago River. Immediately east of the river, it resumes as a minor road, beginning at a cul-de-sac, heading east until Southport Avenue. At Racine Avenue, Armitage Avenue is once again a major street. From here, it continues east until its east end at Clark Street, just west of Lincoln Park.
Armitage Avenue begins at Addison Road in Addison. The road continues east for 0.86 miles (1.38 km) to Villa Avenue in Villa Park.
The next two segments of Armitage Avenue lies entirely within Elmhurst. The road resumes east of the Cricket Creek Forest Preserve at Garden Avenue, a frontage road of Illinois Route 83 (Kingery Highway). The road goes for 1.24 miles (2.00 km) until turning south as Addison Avenue. Armitage Avenue begins again at Indiana Street, continuing 0.31 miles (0.50 km) until turning north as Adele Street. The two segments in Elmhurst are split because of U.S. Route 20/Interstate 290 (Eisenhower Expressway).
