Live cameras in Lombard, United States

Lombard is a DuPage County village in Chicago’s western suburbs with about 44,500 residents counted in 2020. People here know it as the Lilac Village. The nickname comes from Lilacia Park, a garden given to the community in 1927 that now holds around 200 varieties of lilac. Each spring the village celebrates Lilac Time, a festival of roughly two weeks ending in mid-May with a parade, concerts and garden tours. Away from the blossoms, Lombard is a commuter town of tree-lined blocks, a Metra Union Pacific West Line station downtown, and the big Yorktown Center shopping area on its south side.

Roads crisscross the village. Interstate 355, the Veterans Memorial Tollway, runs north–south through it, and the east–west corridors include North Avenue (Illinois 64), Roosevelt Road (Illinois 38) and Butterfield Road (Illinois 56). Illinois Route 53 also passes through on its way north.

About these cameras

More than 80 cameras are tied to Lombard on this page, all from the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Gateway system, which feeds the Getting Around Illinois and Travel Midwest sites. They are traffic cameras aimed at tollway lanes, ramps and major intersections, useful for checking rush hour or weather on the way into Chicago. Images refresh periodically, so a view may hold still for a few minutes between updates.

Lombard uses Central Time. Weekday peaks typically run in the early morning and again late afternoon, and Saturdays around Yorktown can be busy too. Winter storms can turn the tollway white quickly, and the views help you judge conditions before leaving home. Light lingers into the evening in June and fades before five in December.

• Glen Ellyn lies just west, Villa Park and Elmhurst to the east.
• Oak Brook’s shopping and office district is a short drive southeast.
• Cameras along I-88 and I-290 nearby fill in the wider radius.
