Madison WI to Elkhart IN - dealing with Chicago
Any recommendations?
I have an I-Pass. Traveling 9am to 3pm on a Mon. All routing software wants to take me on I-90 through downtown and out the other side. I've done it before, not usually much fun. DW really wants to add the time and miles to take I-39 down to I-80, take a left and carry on to Indiana. There are, of course, other options, like 88-80 or 90-355-80.
Least amount of lane changes, exiting and entering preferred. Least amount (ha!) of traffic/slowdowns/construction, also, of course.
Any reports of construction slowdowns on I-80 between Chicago and Elkhart? Our campground in Elkhart had a big warning, and a really off, secondary road route suggested to save hours of being stalled on I-80. But Google is telling me there's not much to worry about.
