Route Description
The Bishop Ford Freeway begins at the southern end of the Dan Ryan Expressway, where that expressway splits into the Bishop Ford and Interstate 57. The route curves east, housing a Chicago Transit Authority train yard in its median. After the Stony Island Avenue exit, the freeway turns southward, passing through the Pullman neighborhood. The highway passes to the west of Lake Calumet, which it runs alongside until 130th Street. After leaving Chicago, the freeway enters Dolton, where it crosses the Calumet River on a steel truss bridge commonly called the Steel Bridge. Past Illinois Route 83 (Sibley Boulevard), the route enters South Holland. It crosses the Little Calumet River before intersecting U.S. Route 6. The freeway continues south before ending at a junction with the Tri-State Tollway, the Kingery Expressway, and Illinois Route 394.

“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
