Illinois Route 390 marker

Illinois Route 390 (IL 390), previously known as the Elgin–O'Hare Expressway, now known as the Elgin–O'Hare Tollway, is a electronic toll highway in northeastern Illinois. IL 390 currently connects U.S. Route 20 (US 20, Lake Street) in Hanover Park to the intersection with Interstate 290 (I-290) and Thorndale Avenue in Itasca. The only other towns it borders are Schaumburg and Roselle. IL 390 is 6.01 miles (9.67 km) long. Construction is underway to extend the road from I-290 to the western edge of O'Hare International Airport.

IL 390 is a highway located about five to seven miles (8.0 to 11.3 km) to the south of Interstate 90 (I-90), which it parallels. From US 20, the highway travels over a half-mile-long (0.8 km) bridge over the Metra Milwaukee District West Line tracks, and some wetlands. The highway then enters Cook County from DuPage County and intersects IL 19 (Irving Park Road). At Meacham Road, the highway crosses back south into DuPage County.

A four-lane arterial roadway continues east, named Thorndale Avenue. This road terminates at York Road near the western border of O'Hare Airport. Thorndale is currently being replaced with the eastern extension of IL 390.
