 Between
Lincoln and Omaha, the road looks rural, but the speed limit is 65 m.p.h. so
it is kinda not rural. |
 Kinda
seems a little French, no? |
 Suburban
Nebraska! I didn't know such a place existed until I drove through it. |
 I-80
EB in the Omaha area. |
 Not
gonna take the bypass into Iowa, otherwise known as I-680. |
 Traffic!
In Nebraska! Who knew? |
 Coming
up on I-480. |
 That's
the same US 75 that runs through Okmulgee, OK! |
 Welcome
to Iowa. I-29 ahoy! |
 An
interesting way of showing the multiplex of I-29 and I-80. |
 First
real exit in Iowa. |
 Say
goodbye to I-29. I don't think I'd ever been on I-29 before. |
 It's
like I-680 is following us! Creepy. |
 A
quick jaunt to collect a county allowed me to snap this prime example of an
Iowa interstate shield. |
 This
is what we would have seen if we had taken the Omaha bypass. |
 Oh
yeah! I forgot that Iowa went to 70 m.p.h. |
 US
59 goes to another county. |
 A
pretty typical Iowa scene on I-80. |
 US
71 for another county stop. |
 It's
blurry, but that little blue sign underneath the shields tells you the
interchange number. |
 Getting
back onto I-80. |
 Nasty
storm ahead! |
 It
looked like it was raining here from afar, but it was just REALLY low
hanging clouds. |
 Right
after this exit at US 169 and US 6, it began to rain like a mother and then
it got dark. |
 A
couple hundred miles later, we're in the south suburbs of Chicago on
I-80/I-294. |
 The
last Oasis on the Tri-State Tollway. Recently renovated! |
 There's
a bunch of construction at this interchange with I-80, I-94, I-294, and IL
394. |
 Big
new stack interchange. Not too many of these in the Chicago area. |
 US
41 is the first exit on EB I-80/I-94 in Indiana. It goes north from
here to become Lake Shore Drive in downtown Chicago. |
 This
is the infamous Borman Expressway, which was not bad at all this time of
day. |
 IN
912 is an expressway loop. But it is known as Cline Ave. Weird
name if you ask me. Avenue? |
 Eh,
you've probably seen these Indiana pictures elsewhere on this site, but that
was a few years ago. So here are the updates. |
 It
is kinda confusing to me to have a BGS on the left that says "3rd Right." |
 I-80
becomes an exit ramp for a short distance while it hooks up with the Indiana
Toll Road and I-90. |
 See?
A small, two lane section of I-80. |
 Whoever
chooses Ohio over Chicago is just desperate. I guess I was kinda
desperate. |
 The
ticketing system of the toll road begins here. |
 This
is what the toll plaza looks like. |
 Oh
yeah! I forgot Indiana went to 70 m.p.h., too! |
 Crossing
US 31 in South Bend. |
 Last
exit in Indiana is at I-69. |
 This
means we've officially been from west to east. |
 These
are some pretty old interstate shields here in Ohio. |
 The
very same I-75 as the one in South Florida. |
 That's
where I'm headed! Cleveland. |
 I-80
and I-90 split here. |
 This
is our exit. |
 IR
stands for Interstate Route. |
 Right
by Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. |
 They're
doing something weird to I-480's surface. |
 Crossing
I-77. |
 Warrensville
Rd. will take you right to my old house in Cleveland Heights. |
 The
big picture. |
 This
is a super-weird intersection at Chagrin Blvd. and Warrensville Ctr. Rd.
It involved Northfield Rd. and Van Aken Blvd. as well. Only a local
can explain. |
 A
US 422 shield. |
 Warrensville
Center Road in Shaker Heights northbound. |
 Finally,
our trip is done. This is Cedar Rd. looking west (toward downtown
Cleveland) in University Heights. I lived about a mile to the north of
here. |
Alright! Thanks for taking this
trip with me! See ya 'round real soon now. |
