If you really want to avoid traffic, go back to 90 from Oshkosh and take that to I355 via I294. 355 goes south to I80. much less traffic. and less tolls (maybe)! And less aggravation!!!
Or just stay on I39 (i90) south to I80. It's a bit longer route, but no traffic.
I had checked that on Google but it was 100 miles further. You would have to avoid a lot of traffic to make that worth it.
Being from the Chicago area, believe me it`s worth it! the only time I go through Downtown Chicago is at night. we just got back from Myrtle Beach 2 weeks ago and I came up around 465 around Indy, up I65, then I80 around to I355. I think for me it adds about 20 minutes to the drive, but there is no traffic, so the longer distance makes it a wash! anytime you can bypass Chicago it`s worth it, even if it means an hour out of the way, because you will probably be sitting for an hour in traffic anyway. might as well be moving instead of sitting.
