    Cincinnati north bound, get in the left lane and don't look at your trailer in the mirror ever. It could terrify you!

    They have got all kinds of orange barrels and ramps out for repair it's really hard to say, I'm in C-Town really don't make it down to Akron to to much which is okay with me.

    75 north. I haven't been up 71 for a year probably. I did hear that the Brent Spence bridge (75/71) is now the most critical in all the US for replacement. It was designed for 35000 vehicle's per day. Now it gets about 175000.

    Sorry girls I go back to the days when 80 across penn was so rough ya couldn't stay in the seat ..295 in Jersey the same .
    At least the road is getting maintained and as someone that once worked for the Nebraska Dept of roads 5 minutes out of your day isn't asking for much .

    Last time I drove in NYC I looked at my brother and told him I can't believe we are paying to drive on this bomb cratered road. It was BAD !

    These will shake your liver loose and make you question God's purpose.
    1) I-86 in New York, start to finish.
    2) US 69 between I-40 & I-44.

    They repaired I-40 around Kingman, that was a liver loosener.

    That bit around Louisville ain't no joke for construction. Ohio gets my vote for the most, but the never ending I-35 project from Dallas to Waco, and beyond, and now that they are replacing a giant section of it north of Dallas, is definitely the current gold medal winner.
