I just returned to the Chicago area from the Black Hills. There is a long section of I-90 in Southern Minnesota that is in need of repair. In Wisconsin there is a 42 mile long construction zone from Madison south to almost the state line. Traffic moved along at 55 mph, but it was heavy. In Illinois there is construction on I-294 and I-355 and traffic always backs up where I-290 & I-294 meet up.
I-90 through Illinois, Wisconsin & Minnesota is the fastest route. Since you want an alternative, my best advice for you would be to take I-80 all the way to the Omaha area, and then head north to Sioux Falls. I’m guessing that it might add an hour to your trip. FYI, I-80 will have a lot more trucks than I-90 west of the Chicago area.
Thanks so much, you seem to know yours routes! If I take what you suggest, do you recall easy access to fuel stations and plenty? I will need both gas & diesel since we are 2 families
Thanks
