Congress Parkway is a major east-west street in downtown Chicago, USA. It runs east from the Circle Interchange, where it meets Interstates 90, 94 and 290. I-290 ends at Wells Street and Congress Parkway continues as a surface street past State Street and Michigan Avenue, until ending at Columbus Drive in Grant Park.
Congress Parkway begins at the Circle Interchange, where it intersects the Kennedy, Dan Ryan and Eisenhower Expressways. After passing through the interchange, the road passes under Old Chicago Main Post Office, then over the South Branch of the Chicago River. At an interchange with Franklin Street and Wacker Drive, Congress Parkway changes from a freeway to a surface street. It then crosses north-south streets in downtown, including LaSalle Street, Clark Street, State Street and Michigan Avenue. At Michigan Avenue, Congress Parkway enters Grant Park, where it ends at Columbus Drive, just west of Buckingham Fountain.
