Really I-39 is no less sparse in services than I-94 in Wisconsin from Portage to Tomah. If you need to make up some time, when you get to Peoria, take I-74 east to I-155 south and then I-55 south. Germantown, WI 53022 to Wappapello, MO 63966 - Google Maps ( - broken link)
When they say "cars" in this lane, does that include a small 2-axle/no trailer suv? Or am I relegated to "other" lanes? The farthest right takes the dollar bills and makes change via an attendant, right? I feel like such a dope at those toll things - never know if I'm in the right place. MaintainsChaos - thanks for mentioning staying in the proper lanes. Thanks for the details about the tolls, too. I am a country girl - and I like rural places - but something about that stretch unnerves me. While there are exits - some of them seemed to have nothing there at the actual exits - & reminded me of the scene from North By Northwest where Cary Grant was waiting for a bus in the middle of flat farm country (if you've seen the film). Thank you for understanding what I meant about that stretch of road. I'll have to make the trip again in the future - so it is good to have more options. It ends up being about 12 hours - but I really would like to try that one day. SJaye - that route sounds really lovely - and quite tempting. Thanks very much to that member! (Will PM tonight or tomorrow when I've had a chance to really figure out my questions.) That PM had quite a few other suggestions that I'm still checking out - all very helpful. I can live with driving slightly longer on a more interesting stretch of highway like that. It ends up reducing miles by 35 - but slightly increasing drive time only from 9 hours 15 mins to 9 hours 50 minutes. One of which is to hop off of I-39 around I-80 - and get over to IL Route 29.
I've had a wonderful private message - and that person gave me some very workable ideas. Louis I felt totally comfortable - it's just this segment that bugged me.) Is there a better route south than this - that avoids Chicago's traffic mayhem - but maybe isn't quite as desolate? Or maybe I'm just being silly about it being desolate and remembering it wrong? (I hate traveling alone - maybe it is me being nervous over nothing. Seemed a little spooky driving alone - with exits being so far apart - little traffic - and nothing much along the sides of the highway. Second part of the question - I remember thinking a large portion of this trip seemed nearly desolate once I got south of Rockford. This is the route I am working on through google so far. Driving a very small suv (2 axels, no trailer) - can you tell me where and how many tolls I'll be hitting - and maybe how much they'll cost me? I know there are tolls through the Rockford route, but after 3 hours of surfing the Illinois toll info online, I'm really confused. Looks like my best route may be through Beloit / Rockford - so I can avoid the extreme driving of Chicago. I've driven this once before some years ago but can't recall details.
Am moving from SE Wisconsin to SE Missouri.
