Our favorite way to get avoid Chicago on the way to Michigan is to exit in Gilman, IL and travel east on Highway 24. Google Maps shows me that there is bridge work and the highway will be closed just past Goodland until the end of August.
Has anyone traveled on Highway 24 recently or know if the detour is pretty far out of the way? I can't tell if we could just detour a couple of blocks away or not.
We will be trying to get to US 31. Have another route planned out (Route B!) but sure would like to use Highway 24 instead.
Heading that way as well, next week, also planning to use US 24.
Checking the INDOT website, looks like the road is closed from west of Goodland to Remington. Detour route posted is to take IN 55 north from US 24 to IN 16 east to the intersection with US 231, then south to Remington to get back on US 24 in Remington.
Doesn't look to be overly inconvenient. Will take a closer look at Google maps, appears there may be some County Roads that will work as well, and not have to go as far north to head east to US 231.
