Michigan has been repaving roads and rebuilding interchanges. I guess Illinois is just too corrupt to even compete with Michigan. Then again, Michigan takes pride in its historical status as a highway pioneer.
I-355 between I-355 and Army Trail Road is extremely loud and bumpy for a relatively new roadway. What happened? Actually, I noticed that the extension is built out of the same **** too.

Is this a serious post? Have you noticed that they just spent 2 years ripping up and repaving the Dan Ryan? Did you not notice the construction on portions of the Kennedy and Northwest Tollway that just finished up? The ongoing roadwork on the Edens and Tri-State? The work being done on the Reagan Tollway? What about the Bishop Ford that just got repaved? The 355 extension? Seen the recent handiwork on the Northwest Tollway out by Rockford? How about I-57 through Ford County? Where the hell have you been? |

I learned a valuable lesson about the world of I-Pass recently. When you first get your I-Pass you include the car you drive. Well...if you change cars and don't notifiy them that the I-Pass in now in a different vehicle and you have any issues with your I-Pass they fine you big time. Luckily I got my fine reduced from 600.00 to 23.00. So, if you get a new car, let I-Pass people know!!!

I've been on Gettingaroundillinois.com , looking for ways to avoid all those orange barrels. The rebuilt Dan Ryan is very nice.
There have been state trucks on I-57, but if they are doing any work, I would be surprised. |

Oh yeah, and they just finished up that stretch of I-74 between Champaign and about 1/3rd of the way out to St. Joe.
The section of I-57 in Chamaign County, north of I-74 anyway, is in pitiful shape and needs some work.
