lol lunchtime in chicago.  80-90 in indiana is under construction at the 4 mile marker. its gonna be bad.  in illinois 80-90 is under construction at the stateline to the 294 split.  this is about 10 miles total constuction. take maybe an hour on a good day. best route is 80-294-90. its a toll road. i have no idea what it cost for a car. just try and make it before sun up.  also top your fuel tank in indiana. best fuel prices are at the flying j in lake station, in. exit 15. and stay off the skyway its down to 1 lane in illinois. when your on the ohio turnpike the cops sit in the middle just behind the center wall. they all use laserguns. pa, in and il use radar. 80 in pa has a chitload of construction between milemaker 235 and 110 bring food. i drive a red kw says stray cat aerospace on the door will be in dubois,pa milemarker 97 at the sheetz truckstop on saturday 8-27 untill about 10am.
