Getting Around

We know arriving to campus, knowing where you can park and walk, understanding the layout of campus, and being aware of what there is to do in downtown South Bend can be difficult. We hope that sharing the below information with your guests will make it easy for those coming to your event.

Arriving to Campus

• • Directions from Chicago O'Hare International Airport
    • Take Route 190 east out of O’Hare to Route 90 east (Kennedy Expressway) toward downtown Chicago. This merges with Route 94 south (Dan Ryan Expressway). Take the Skyway exit off the Dan Ryan and remain on Route 90 to the Indiana Toll Road, which eventually merges with Route 80. Use Exit 77 (South Bend/Notre Dame).
    • An alternative route: Take Route 190 east out of O’Hare to Interstate 294 south (Tri-State Tollway) and follow the signs for 80/294 and then Interstate 80-90 (Indiana Toll Road). Use Exit 77 (South Bend/Notre Dame).
  • Directions from South Bend International Airport 
    • Turn left out of the airport entrance onto Lincoln Way West. Once in downtown South Bend, turn left on Michigan Street (Indiana 933). Continue to Angela Boulevard, the second stoplight north of the St. Joseph River. Turn right on Angela Boulevard. Turn left on Notre Dame Avenue.
