There is just no good way to drive to/through Chicago from the east these days.
Construction on the Indiana Tollroad is done, but the Skyway is torn up again. The condition of the Dan Ryan Expressway is unprintable. The Kennedy is bumper to bumper, and they're doing roadwork on the Edens.
Opting for westbound I-80/94 is no better. There always are slowdowns approaching the Bishop Ford, and the Tri-State isn't done with all of its tollbooth reconstruction -- although I must admit that the no-slowdown I-pass lanes are fabulous once they're open and working.
Is it time for a third belt of interstates to the west -- or a tunnel under Lake Michigan?
