It would piss me off to pay tolls in Chicago area and then have the roads not up to par or continuously under construction.
It sucks when your state tax is $10.25 and the roads look like the surface of the moon.
The Taylor exit on 90/94 has been under construction for 3 years so far. Doesnt look anywhere near completed.
Yup, I asked one of the two construction workers I saw and he explained that they works low on purpose because they can stretch out the pay.
Makes sense

DaSandwich22
Out of state person: "You don't have a budget?" Me: "I can't even spell budget" But that's probably because of the poor education system.

That's crazy, my dad is in Alabama (originally from IL) and says that all the time. O.o
I live in AL. I'll put our stretch of I-20/59 from Tuscaloosa to the MS state line up against anyone who says their state's roads suck.
Hell, I-20 near the Georgia state line literally killed someone several years ago.

ARNPTweed
Recently moved from the cities to FL. So do not miss that disaster freaking bridge. They're still not done?!
I don't know but the bottleneck sucks going into Bettendorf or Moline. Either way I hate that bridge every year.
Especially when people get in accidents on the bridge
ikindafail
Where do you live in Florida that there's no construction? I live next to Tampa and it's been worked on my whole life
So I drive from Punta Gorda to Venice every day, but that construction doesn't even compare to the disaster the 1-74 bridge is.
BoatswainsMate
I lived there for 4.5 years, the never ever ever finished working on the road outside of my work.
Did you work off of La Grange Rd in Orland? That road has been worked on for years. I don't think it will ever be complete.

I used to work at Marcus off of orland and quit because of the traffic orland has
sharkattackalackin
We've had a road near my house under construction since I was six. I'm eighteen...

For the 22 years I've lived there I've never once driven on I90 without construction.

BlackOpalGalaxy
At least you guys get toll money to invest in that. Consider other states who don't even have the money to do that much
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
It all stayed in Chicago
Oh yeah I love paying out the ass in tolls. Also, they are trying to pass legislation for additional income taxes to pay for roads.
And most of the roads are still garbage in IL, BTW. You don't see the difference on most toll roads for all the money they collect.
DragonLordG
Do you really think that money is going back into the roads? It's the most corrupt state. Like, objectively.

I live in AL. I'll put our stretch of I-20/59 from Tuscaloosa to the MS state line up against anyone who says their state's roads suck.
eromitlab
Hell, I-20 near the Georgia state line literally killed someone several years ago.

I-74 bridge anyone? Iowa's ready but Illinois isn't!

That is what I was thinking when I wrote that.

Galesburg here.

And they just keep throwing money at that shit heap instead.
JohnnyTitelips
Illinois is too busy being relevant.

Recently moved from the cities to FL. So do not miss that disaster freaking bridge. They're still not done?!
sweatshopkids
I don't know but the bottleneck sucks going into Bettendorf or Moline. Either way I hate that bridge every year.
MemeStealingSkeleton
Especially when people get in accidents on the bridge

Where do you live in Florida that there's no construction? I live next to Tampa and it's been worked on my whole life
ARNPTweed
So I drive from Punta Gorda to Venice every day, but that construction doesn't even compare to the disaster the 1-74 bridge is.
BoatswainsMate
I lived there for 4.5 years, the never ever ever finished working on the road outside of my work.

Did you work off of La Grange Rd in Orland? That road has been worked on for years. I don't think it will ever be complete.
phunkyyy
I used to work at Marcus off of orland and quit because of the traffic orland has
sharkattackalackin
We've had a road near my house under construction since I was six. I'm eighteen...
SonJulio
For the 22 years I've lived there I've never once driven on I90 without construction.

Illinois native here. All of this is accurate.

At least you guys get toll money to invest in that. Consider other states who don't even have the money to do that much
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
It all stayed in Chicago
LetsEatGrandpaCommasSaveLives
Oh yeah I love paying out the ass in tolls. Also, they are trying to pass legislation for additional income taxes to pay for roads.
LetsEatGrandpaCommasSaveLives
And most of the roads are still garbage in IL, BTW. You don't see the difference on most toll roads for all the money they collect.
DragonLordG
Do you really think that money is going back into the roads? It's the most corrupt state. Like, objectively.
