    I haven't been there in a while. Did they ever finish that 5 mile section of 224 where 76 and 77 cross? They worked on that stretch of highway for over 20 years that I know of. And once a week a truck would be rolled over taking that ramp to fast.

    Turnpike in Ohio is a nightmare. Indiana and PA is fine by comparison.

    I like the 40 miles on non construction /construction zone on 75 South of Toledo. I will say that the Ohio roads are by far better than Indiana. 69 South of Bloomington is new, and all the way to Evansville you need to take a double dose of Dramamine to keep from getting seasick.

    I'd say Ohio is definitely at the top. Notorious for miles of cones without a worker or any road equipment in sight.
     
    Hick Thanks this.

    Lol you guys have it easy. I actually took out cones twice in the same construction zone on separate days. Being 135 feet long I needed the other lane to stay away from the guard rail. Just had to take what I needed.
     
    Dave_in_AZ and TROOPER to TRUCKER Thank this.

    Dude I see the weirdest #### on that road when I run 50 over then down to Newburg. XD

    You ain't kidding. Boatfest reminds me of Louisiana i10 days.

    Just last week I saw a mercedez go straight into the rocks. Then the day later I look over and see an old woman in the fast lane traveling south in the northbound lanes.


    Roads suck. I would never drive for the mile. #### Obama.
