I read that starting April 1st, the Eisenhower is going to be repaved as part of a two year project for a cost of $113 million. Sadly, it doesn't include a Corvettes only express lane. I blame Obama.

It's going to be highly invasive ball surgery to get in and out of the city.

Especially for those of us that have to use 290, or 294. Lots of folks who can use 294 as an alternate route will do that, and then that will grid lock 294 worse than it is.

As far as the city, the Bridge for Congress Parkway is being re-done so that will be a complete cluster F*** Same sht as every year.

I cannot IMAGINE 294 being worse than it is. I use to have to go to 57 and would get off at Cicero and drive down to about 163 and get on there - lots quicker. But 294 seemed to get to walking speed until close to Ogden.
