"there is a ring road round chicago too (I-480?) i am unsure of the number, because last time i traveled thro chicago, it was undergoing a major overhaul, and i didn't take the ring road.

The ring road in Chi-town is 294 and is so far out town that going from Indiana to Wisconsin on it would add an extra 1/2 to 2 hours depending on time of day, even without the perpetual construction.
