I The plan for today was to drive from Topeka, Kansas to around Columbus, Ohio. Supposed to take 10 to 11 hours instead it took 14.
Missouri was the worst on route 70 with hundreds of miles. Literally of areas that were under construction and interspersed with short areas that were not. I don't think I actually saw any areas that were completed. Only ones that were dug up with piles of dirt everywhere and bulldozers but nowhere near ready for paving.
Illinois highways were better but they still had plenty of single Lanes that everything had to condense down to bringing traffic to a stop for miles. I would say I had at least seven times where I had to stop and wait for Lanes of traffic to merge into one.
Ohio started out like a dream. Beautifully smooth roads. Everyone going around the speed limit. It was great until it wasn't. Soon enough there were many construction zones again with everything torn up but not ready for paving. Then as it was getting dark it started to rain pretty hard with lightning and I'd been pretty fortunate that my entire trip so far both going out and coming back on the the big drives had no bad weather.
I plan to be back in Connecticut tomorrow. Home sweet home.
