While traveling through Chi last Thurs. afternoon around 3:30- 4 pm we got held up taking the Skyway North. I think it added an hour to the trip. Are there times when it's better to take 294? I mean what's the point of spending $6 if it takes the same time to get up to Rockford, Madison, etc. Now coming back through headed S on Monday at 2:30 the traffic only added 15 minutes to the trip.
 
294 to avoid the construction. Ever since they started ripping it up where 94 and 90 split theres been no hope......

Oh, and you're an a$shole for not stopping for a meat........

So my next question is when will Chi ever slow down construction. It seems like everything has been torn up since I was a little kid. Didn't have time to stop to hang.

I drive over there about once a week, and it's a crap shoot. Evenings during the week the skyway is the best, but any given time it's jammed like Lord Helmets radar.
My (air cooled) Harley was not happy with me. I think I had some detonation going cause I wasn't moving.
My sportbike ride was at least a little better, cause it's narrow enough to split lanes, and I was lucky enough not to see any 5-0's.
