Driving in Antioch and what it does to your vehicle

Antioch driving is lake country: boat trailers on Route 173 and Route 83 all summer, long rural stretches between subdivisions, and commuters heading to I-94 or the Metra North Central Service station downtown. Towing and stop and go summer traffic heat brakes and transmissions, and winter on open roads means drifting snow and heavy salt.

Good to know

• If you tow a boat to the Chain O'Lakes, have transmission fluid, brakes and trailer wiring checked before the season.
• Route 173 east is the simplest route, and it passes Russell before reaching Green Bay Road.
