Recently I stumbled upon a plan for a new freeway in Belvidere, Illinois. Apparently IDOT wants to upgrade a section of Bus US 20 to Interstate standards (approximately up to Logan Avenue), and to number it I-590. But the most surprising part is why IDOT wants to build it: To thank BigRigSteve for all his efforts to show the country from his truck. He did a stream unveiling his new website on Saturday, but he didn't mention this, so this comes to a grand surprise for me. I think this is not needed, like I-180 to Hennepin, but these days anything is possible. A video of the project can be found here.

Any thoughts? And happy Easter Monday.

IDOT doesn't have the funding, so ISTHA is also involved. for a potential Business US 20 Tollway

This isn't an April Fool's Day joke, is it? When I clicked on the link, it provided a video where the Boston Red Sox baseball team gets Rick Roll'd (Rick Astley) by the San Diego Padres. Don't get me wrong, I love Rick Astley's music, but it appears CNGL-Leudimin posted the wrong YouTube link.

An Illinois government so broke that they have to get a popular rich Youtuber to sponsor the construction of transportation infrastructure is so close to how our anarchical dystopia operates that I could almost believe this to be true in 10-20 years.

I hope you have liked my April Fools prank for 2024 :sombrero:. As most of the years it was a last minute thought, and this time I had to venture into one of the regional boards, which I rarely check, if ever.

I intentionally used that link in order not to make it obvious it is a Rickroll :bigass:.

Aww man I missed April Fools Day. I wanted to start a prank thread of my own. This was one of the more convincing threads I've seen here.
