Slang term for the westernmost interchange on the [Eisenhower] Expressway (I-290) in Chicago. Three lanes of [Interstate 290] narrow to two and three lanes of Interstate 88 narrow to one, to form three lanes of the Eisenhower. The strangling effect of merging two three-lane freeways into one three-lane freeway often creates huge traffic jams, thus its notoriety as the [hillside strangler].
