294 between O’Hare and the Wisconsin border is darn near one continuous construction zone. The lanes that are closed are blocked off with concrete barriers. Over the total length of the construction zone, maybe 2% has workers.
Last time I was on it, even the cops were cruising at 70 . . .
I just drove that stretch last month, if you dare go in the left lane you better be doing 80 plus, and when have you EVER seen a cop driving below the posted speed limit?
