  1. nice.. nobody ever does the speed limit in that work zone that's the one between Remington just before you get into Demotte..
    in fact majority drive like idiots from Lafayette clear up to Gary..
    nothing to see here folks just keep moving on

    Is that Illiana toll road that runs from 55 near Wilmington, IL to 65 around Lafayette, IN still a go? That entire area on 65 and 80/94 is a congested mess
     
  4. nope for the most part has been written up written down but not..voted in voted out for still right now no.... I don't think it's going to fly..I love your finding a lot more guys rolling across out of Kankakee on 17 now just to avoid that 80/55 mess into arsenal Rd.

    Ya I was at a trailer dealer in Peotone a couple weeks ago a noticed several flip floppers passing through on the county road the dealer is on. I imagine they were cutting across to head over to Elwood.

    Anybody remember back in I this it was 2015 when they had an emergency shutdown of the northbound Lanes of 65 because that bridge in the area of that construction was shifting.
