December 13, 1951 – Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson II, Indiana Governor
Henry Schricker and Cook County Board President William Erickson come together
to dedicate the Calumet Expressway and its Tri-State Parkway extension,
extending from U. S. Route 41 in Hammond to Doty Avenue and 130th Street in
Chicago. The new parkway allows
motorists to bypass the industrial areas of northern Indiana and South Chicago connecting
with a national toll road that will cross Indiana and Ohio and join the
existing Pennsylvania turnpike.
