Any bad stretches near you?
I got this idea from a questioning post for I-59. I was just thinking if we could post any know road condition issues near us, we might beat the trip planning people in getting up to date information...

You mentioned the roads around Indianapolis. May I add that if you're traveling 465 on the East side of Indianapolis, and if you're towing a trailer, you're going to get bucked around like a mad bull in a Mexican Bull fight! If you're not towing, you don't notice it. But when towing it's the most horrible road I've been on in a while.
You mentioned I-70 East of Indianapolis. Here again, from Indianapolis to Ohio is horrible for the same reason. I quite driving this stretch and started taking secondary highways and even county roads. Many county roads are smoother than I-70.
And then when you get close to Richmond ... OH MY GOSH! Just get off I-70 anywhere and take back roads, unless you enjoy having the******literally shook out of you, your camper, and everything you've got! There again, when not towing, you don't notice it.
I-65 South of Indianapolis is horrible also for the same reason. No kidding ... in Indiana, I've started avoiding all interstates ... everywhere when towing. I don't enjoy riding raging bulls bucking and kicking the stuffings out of me!
Yep. Eastbound 70 you are better off exiting at Mt. Comfort Rd and taking US40.
Westbound 70 same thing, exit at Plainfield and take US40 to Terre Haute. Speed limits on 40 vary from 35 in small towns to 55, but I tow slow anyway. I'll get there when I get there.
