just got home from up there.
they had both sides closed.
460 East to 81 south to 77 is the detour.
about 45-50 miles more.
I took 100 down from 460, now that is some serious curves and 1 NARROW!!!! short stretch.
but shorter. -
I took that rte. years ago when I hauled steel and needed to miss the scales on I77. Yea Ha... Was all I could say..

Incredible fire. Those tunnels and that area is always a scene of problems. I wonder if the driver had warning signs prior and was just trying to make it to the Tamarack.
I'd say the insurance company will get a nice bill. -

Looks like they have 1 lane open North bound through the tunnel. Both lanes are open south bound. I have a run up to N Chicago leaving in the morning. Was planning to run I-40 to I-75 instead. Its about 100 miles farther. Think I will chance it now. Weekend traffic shouldn't be bad if I can roll through there before 9 AM.
