Re: U.S. map question

Yep, you're right. My bad:redface:. I deal with these things so often I do get them mixed up from time to time. I-88 starts at I-80 in the QC, which used to be I-5, that started at the end of Illinois 5 at I-80. I-88 is free from there to Dixon where the first toll plaza is. The toll road actually starts right outside of Rock Falls. I-80 turns into a toll just before Indiana. Thanks for setting me straight. If I had hair, I would pull it out.


As for the three digit Interstates, most of them are bypasses of the main line. However, there are some that are just "legs" off of that route that, in the case of I-180, just East of Princeton, lead nowhere.

I 180 leads to nowhere- I'll say.IIRC,it was built in anticipation of giant economic growth in the area of Hennepin,where the now defunct steel mill is.What a waste.

The former CEO of that mill knew an "individual of clout". After a few strings were pulled, the road was built. But, the grain haulers love it.

I sure do not like going over that bridge. Last time I was there you could see the river through the pot holes.
