The Hound scoffs at what they call “roadwork” on the Edens Expressway. We have our own major expressway repair project right here in Lake County.
The Amstutz Expressway, aka “The Highway to Nowhere”, is getting its first resurfacing in 32 years. Which goes to show how little-traveled is the Waukegan road.
If you dare to venture in the work zone, don’t beep your horn while approaching the flagger. He may be taking a snooze and you wouldn’t want to disturb him.
Well-traveled roads are crumbling throughout Lake County, but at least there will be smooth rides for the dozen or so Abbott and Hospira commuters --- they are about the only drivers who actually use the Amstutz.
Oh, don’t forget the film crews. You never know when Hollywood will need the road for a “Batman” or “Groundhog Day” sequel.
