re: #276 CapeCoddah

Rt 9, /Huntington Ave is one of the worst nightmares. I hate that one more than 2.

Sounds like fun. A few years ago, IDOT decided to fix what was then known as the Hillside Strangler. A freeway and a tollway merged together there (I-290 EB and I-88 EB) along with ramps from Roosevelt Rd (IL-38) and the Tri-State Twy (I-294). Traffic would backup something fierce there everyday, even on weekends. Well, IDOT, in their infinte wisdom, decided not to add lanes, but to move the merge point eastward, away from the Tri-State. It still backs up, but it backs up one suburb to the east.
