    Lucky me, an hour and counting on 70 because a semi crashed near the work zone in Terre Haute. If you're headed this way just Park and relax or find an alternate route. I'm 6 miles behind the crash and at this point it's probably backed up 10+ miles behind me into IL.

    This #### highway needs to be 6 lanes statewide in IN and MO. Too much volume for a 4-lane in both, especially considering the number of trucks. Hate this state with a passion, the pen!s in between us of IL and OH...

    Well it gives drivers an excuse to avoid the IN scale house at the state line (although it'll be closed today I think).lol

    Wow. I went through there around 2 this afternoon. I remember when the right lane closed, there was no warning at all. Everyone did a hard break. The IL construction was much better marked with good signage than the IN construction. Sorry you got caught in the backup.

    Looks like Prime was trying for a alternate route and became part of the headache.

    Oh, there was more than one. I hope there were no fatalities in that one. Maybe he took the ditch instead of rear ending someone. If so, good for him. The carrier was that big company out of Springfield MO.
