The Kennedy expressway runs north of the Circle Interchange and can be seen at the top of the photograph. The Ryan expressway reaches south at the bottom, the Eisenhower to the west, and Congress Parkway runs east from the Circle into city streets just south of the Loop. The University of Illinois's Chicago campus, once known as Circle Campus for its proximity to the traffic landmark, can be seen in the lower left corner of the photo.
