Live cameras in Glendale Heights, United States

Glendale Heights is a village in DuPage County, Illinois, in the western suburbs of Chicago, with about 33,000 residents at the 2020 census. It began as farmland and grew quickly after 1958, when a developer started building homes; residents incorporated the village in 1959 and added Heights to the name a year later, a nod to the gentle rises of the Valparaiso Moraine and a way to avoid confusion with another Illinois town. The community is notably diverse, with large Hispanic and Asian populations, and local employers include Spraying Systems Co. and several food companies. A park district and a public library district serve residents, and the village is run under a council-manager government.

Views near the Veterans Memorial Tollway

IDOT's Gateway system, which collects traffic data for the Chicago region, is the source for each picture listed here. Expect a snapshot that is swapped for a newer one at short intervals instead of video. Interstate 355, the Veterans Memorial Tollway, runs along the eastern edge of the village, and its northern toll section ends at Army Trail Road just beyond, where a short free stretch continues to I-290. North Avenue and Army Trail Road carry local east-west traffic. Because LiveLocation links each camera to its nearest place, the page collects IDOT views from that corridor and nearby DuPage County roads.

The heaviest traffic is on weekday mornings heading east toward Chicago and O'Hare, and in the late afternoon heading back west. Winter storms bring snow from December into March, and the camera pictures are a simple way to see whether the expressway looks clear or slushy. Midsummer evenings are long, with sunset near half past eight in late June, while in December it is dark by about half past four.

Carol Stream borders the village on the west, Addison and Bloomingdale are close by, and Wheaton, the county seat, is a few miles to the south.
