The
pastel colors of the Illinois Tollway. Drivers in the I-PASS express
lanes cannot use the next exit. |
I
wouldn't call this a BGS, I'd call it a GGS. Giant Green Sign.
This is where the Tri-State and I-294 curve eastward before they end at I-94
in about 6 miles. |
Eastbound
I-80 and Southbound I-294 on the Tri-State. We'll be on I-80 all the
way into New Jersey. |
But
before we get to New Jersey, we go over a large rock quarry. |
Nice
button copy on this overhead gantry. IL 394 is a freeway that heads
south to Crete, and is part of the Bishop Ford Freeway. |
I-294
ends here, but I-80 continues and I-94 joins it. |
End
I-294. |
This
inadequate freeway is called the Kingery Expressway in Illinois, but turns
into the more infamous Borman Expressway once it crosses the Indiana line. |
Still
on the Kingery. |
We've
made it to Indiana. |
US
41 SB hooks up with the expressway just over the Indiana line and exits
here. |
The
Borman Expressway, which had suprisingly little traffic on it at the time we
passed through. I've been on this road with 10 mile backups at least. |
East
I-80, I-94, and US 6. |
Coming
up on IN 53 and I-65. |
Hardly
anyone on the road!! |
Take
the third right for the toll road. Third right it is. |
I-80
exits here on a one-lane ramp to the Toll Road. |
This
is the I-80 mainline, believe it or not. |
And
now it merges with the Toll Road, I-90. |
East
I-80 and I-90. That small green circular shield is for the Indiana E-W
Toll Road. |
Who
cares about most of Ohio? Now we're on the free part of I-80 in
Youngstown, OH. OhioDOT uses New York City as the control city, but
Pennsylvania uses silly controls like Hazleton or something.
|
You
never know what you'll find on the road in Ohio!! |
Now
east of Youngstown on I-80. |
You
know you're in Pennsylvania when the interchanges are named. Losers. |
I-80
isn't the smoothest road on the planet in these parts. |
You
never know what you'll find on the road in Pennsylvania either!!! |
PA
8 goes to the Oil City area. |
An
I-80 scene in Western Pennsylvania. |
Nearing
Penn State. |
The
ALT part of ALT US 220 is tacked on where the exit tab should be. |
ALT
220 goes south from here and the ALT is still tacked on to the top. |
No,
not THAT Jersey Shore!! |
I-80
Eastbound. I think there are paint tests along this highway, and
result in stripes like you can see in the distance on the road. |
I-180
is coming up, and goes to the same place as US 15 does. |
Oh
boy guys!! We're going to Bloomsburg! Where is that now? |
It's
starting to look a bit prettier out there in the mountains. |
More
I-80 EB. |
I-80
Pennsylvania shield. What's with the "Blue Detour" sign? |
I-80
is about to cross I-81. |
The
I-81 exits. Hey PennDOT: Hazleton?! |
An
old style Pennsylvania BGS with some updates that make it ugly. |
Almost
to the Northern Extension of the Penna Turnpike, I-476. |
