The eastern portion of Illinois 137 carries part of the Amstutz Expressway, a short freeway between downtown Waukegan and Lake Michigan. It is also one of two J-shaped state roads in Illinois (the other being Illinois Route 157 in southwest Illinois).
Route description
Illinois 137 is called Buckley Road in the northwest-southeast segment, as well as the east–west segment east of Illinois Route 21 (Milwaukee Avenue). Between these segments, in northern Libertyville,business addresses use Peterson Road, however street signs name it Buckley Road, which continues west as Illinois 137 turns northwest. In North Chicago, at the east end of the Buckley Road alignment, the route turns north where it cuts Naval Station Great Lakes into two areas, and becomes Sheridan Road for most of its remaining length to the Wisconsin state line. The exception is the Amstutz Expressway, which runs from Sheridan Road near the southern border of Waukegan to Greenwood Avenue roughly 2 miles (3.2km) north, where the expressway abruptly ends; Illinois 137 follows Greenwood Avenue west a short distance back to Sheridan Road and continues north through Beach Park, Zion, and Winthrop Harbor before terminating at the state line. Wisconsin Highway 32 continues north as Sheridan Road.
Dashcam Drive: The Expressway to Nowhere(Illinois Route 137)
This is a joyride both northbound and southbound on an unfinished expressway in North Chicago and Waukegan IL which was suppose to relieve traffic in Waukegan and North Chicago. The Waukegan section is 2.9 miles long and the North Chicago section is less than a mile. It is barely used that the highway is used for movie productions such as Groundhog Day. Blue Brothers, The Ice Harvest, Batman Begins, and Chicago Fire. This is the first video with a new dashcam which is a Thinkware F200.

TORNADO in Waukegan, Illinois 8/2/15 { waterspout } route 137
After it passed through Grayslake, I chased this funnel cloud from Libertyville towards Waukegan / North Chicago. Right as it approached Lake Michigan, it appeared to touch ground and was easily seen by hundreds of drivers on route 137 heading East. This could actually be technically a WATERSPOUT.
