After a few PM exchanges and reading some posts here, I am planning the route to South Dakota from Mass. I am choosing to skip I90 at Chicago Metro all together (just because of experience with Boston I90 and routes 84 & 91 going in or out of Hartford CT).
From those who travel alot in this Western route, can you tell me how far out should I stay away from Chicago and the area?
I'd rather add a few miles and time and keep moving than sitting in gridlock.
Any good advise where it makes sense to do so?
Thanks

This would be more to My liking - Map
Gets me away from many big cities and avoids Chicago Big Time.
Just one More Option,
Would agree with Bill/Busskipper on this route, far less hassle getting around Indy than the Chicagoland area, and that was OP's original premise...avoiding the mess that is I-80/90.
