What is the best route from Chicago to Maine?
My partner is insistent on a trip to the coastal region of Maine, so I’m surprising them with a road trip for their birthday. What is the best way to drive from Chicago to Maine?

However, if you have valid U.S. passports you can take a fun detour through Canada with the following route:
- Cross the bridge into Canada and head to ON-401 E.
- Take the exit for ON-403 E then follow Lincoln M. Alexander Pkwy/Red Hill Valley Pkwy.
- Merge onto Queen Elizabeth Way/Garden City Skyway then take ON-405 E to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.
- Cross the bridge into the U.S. and take I-190 S and I-290 E to I-90 E.
The drive takes 17 hours, give or take, so make sure to stop overnight along the way and double-check your
