O.T. traveling around Chicago

I lived off I 90 for 20 years with relatives in Michigan. Gone that way hundreds of times. Couldn't tell you the current construction situation though.

I drive truck and go from Ind. to Ia and back quit often. I very seldom travel I 80 due to the construction. I normally run 30 from Merryville to I 57 and them north to I 80. There are a heck of a lot of lights going this way, but my way of thinking is you know what you are in for and the traffic moves. I have not hit one traffic jam this summer using this route. One last thought, if my wife was driving from Ia to Ind. I would tell her to run the way I just said.

Just my thoughts BUDD

I guess it depends on the time you'll be through. I90 doesn't go to I80 easily, have to go the skyway which has never not been screwed in my lifetime, and heard is really hosed by construction.

Hmm, could try I90 so long as either meet up with I294 south to I80 east (meets just past worst bottleneck of the construction that's being reconfigured this weekend). Or I90 all the way into Chicago and cut down I57 to I80, which will get you past the race traffic, but direct you into that bottleneck of the construction on I80 headed to the I94 meet up.

Rt 30's going to be hosed in and around Joliet and is never good period once start getting west of Joliet. Basically, you've got problems.

I'm thinking I90 to I294 (2 or 3 - 80 cent tolls) to I80 to I94 to Michigan. Or take your chances on I80 all the way.

Is plenty of construction in Indiana on I80, but it flows good, and traffic has been low (fuel prices). Hope everyone in the Gary area's in church for your sake.

Best I can do. I'll be at the Indy races this weekend getting paid double time to baby sit the phone systems, so... Next weekend going home oughta be a breeze for me.
