Besides, I don't think the op asked for political opinions just road conditions.
Nevertheless there it is. If more people get outraged about the state of our infrastructure, maybe something will get done about it.
Or you could just look the other way.
And I said nothing about the past seven years.

Unless the interstate has had recent work, they all suck. My daughter hates I-70 through Missouri. I did pieces of I-40 through OK and AR and they seemed fine. My neighbor who drove I-40 from Memphis to Las Vegas said that AR was the worse.
Basically, the federal government has abandoned its responsibility WRT to the interstate system created by a forward thinking President in exchange for handing stuff out to people who add nothing to society.
Hey, we voted them in.

Huh?
A new bridge going in at Terre Haute means you should take 465 around Indy? Why? They are 80 miles from each other.
I just came through there today and the construction for the new bridge in Terre Haute had I-70 down to one lane, but it was flowing fine (on a Sunday, though).
Anyway, what does that have to do with Indy?
If I am heading west to east across Indiana, I would stay on I-70 and go through downtown Indy, rather than take 465.

I live in Colorado South of I 70 and North of I 40, plan on heading to Parris Island,SC which is near Beaufort,SC for granddaughters graduation from USMC boot camp. Looking at MapQuest it shows both routes are about same distance from the house.. Was wondering which route majority would suggest and why. Thank you

A friend of mine had advised me to get off on I-64 and take that down to I-270, rather than going further east on I-70 to grab I-270. This made sense to me, since I was going south on I-55.
Probably 6 of one/half dozen of the other. I have not taken I-70 to I-270 to head south, so I don't have a point of reference as to whether either route saves time. I do know that going the I-64 route to I-270 seemed be a relatively easy drive.

I don't understand the I-64 reference. IIRC, 70 meets up with 270, no need for 64??? but I would suggest MO 370 around St. Charles instead. state 370, NOT an IS.
incidentally if St. Charles is a good place in your schedule to stay overnight, sundemeier's RV park is right near 370 and I used to stay there whenever I was in town.
