    Wait till a tanker hits it, blows a steer, and dumps 8000 gallons of (insert your favorite hazmat here) all over the road and they have to evacuate 10k people from their homes.

    Some of the Joliet area bridges and roads are pretty atrocious. The bridge at exit 132 on I80 is pretty #### terrible. The bridge surface, the interchange ramps, and IL-53 as it passes under I-80 are all garbage. I hit that exit several times a month.
