Should be the stretch of I-94 going through Chicago. Always a mess.
I-666
Then, a few years later, with no official record found, it will be renamed "Barack Hussein Obama Highway".

All records of construction will be sealed.
Any ambulance calls will be diverted (turfed) to Stroger Hospital.
If an Illinois highway is named after Obama, I hope it will be I-190, since it’s the shortest interstate in the Chicago area.
If they *have* to.
