Look at a map. Jump off I-80 as close as you can to Route 30. Cross over into Indiana, get back on I-80. No toll necessary.
I’ve done that and found that I should just cough up the ~$1.
With an EZ-pass it’s pretty painless.
Still is an annoyance but I figure not buying fuel in the state [or anything else] largely offsets the contribution to bad public behavior on the part of Ill. gooberment.
