Where's Steve at?

[SteveG1988]

No Takers yet?

No Takers yet?

Is the photo relatively recent?  They didn't have time to repave or install some median crash protection did they?

Center exit tab and not an extruded-panel sign. Possibly Virginia, New York or North Carolina.

How about a Kentucky parkway?  It's the closest I can find to it, with narrow median with no cross-over protection, but no exact match yet...

Is it along I-77 in South Carolina?

[SteveG1988]

Is it along I-77 in South Carolina?

No, but there is a clue. It is a route that wasn't part of the original plan.

[Roadrunner75]

And here you are, I-57 in southern IL:

You Win.

Was the hint of it not being an original route to the system a bit too much?

Actually it wasn't - I thought you were referring to your own original planned routing for your trip, but it got me thinking of alternate or bypass routes of major corridors.

I actually normally plan I-57 as it is an awesome route to take if i am going from northern IL/Wi/IN down to TN or southern MO and Arkansas as it bypasses city traffic for St Lvis

OK - I'm gonna start by throwing out something:  I-380 in Iowa

I think you may be right. For the past hour, I have been doing nothing but trying to find Steve's location on Google Maps. I have scoped out countless interstates and freeways in the Midwest, and I even covered I-380. Embarrassingly, I only looked at the northern part of I-380. I just now checked out the southern part, and sure enough, the look of the road looks very similar to Steve's picture: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8210619,-91.6554377,3a,75y,342.85h,86.93t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1simv-M89krp4aHJgDSB-lHA!2e0

Congrats, you beat me to it, and I was so close 

(that is, if we're correct with our guess of I-380, but it's very likely it's right)

[SteveG1988]

I have not been to Iowa...ever.

[Brandon]

That looks like Illinois.  The crappy pavement, the redone area along the lane lines, the two embedded reflectors between every other lanes line, the placement of the rumble strips, and the huge linear potholes between the shoulder and the lanes (I-55 seems very prone to this).

Candidates: I-55 bypass of the one of the towns; I-57 in northern Illinois (between Kankakee & Champaign); I-80.

[Zeffy]

I haven't the faintest idea of where that picture is from, but where-ever it is from, if that's what the roads are like, then... wow. Even New Jersey's major roadways are in better shape than that. Heck, I'd vouch for Connecticut too.

[Roadrunner75]

Then you ought to give Iowa a try:

Never been there either...

I will give you Illinois, but it isn't 55 or 57 or 80.

[adventurernumber1]

I never would have guessed it'd be in Illinois since the last pick was in Illinois 

(Since you said each pic would be far away from the one before, but I'm not saying the pic doesn't look like it is in Illinois, because that part is believeable)

Looks like it's time to go hunting on Google Maps again 

[Roadrunner75]

I believe Steve is here:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=40.233117,-88.572764&spn=0.000008,0.006539&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=40.2331,-88.573675&panoid=G4PY2bwk9ol12T-Eg05XAg&cbp=12,99.68,,0,-2.64
I-74 EB between Farmer City and Mansfield, IL.

[SteveG1988]

Close enough roadrunner, and yeah i know i said they would be from different parts but...sometimes i see a neat road scene and feel like posting it even tho i just did one from that state, or i ran across the same state multiple times, during the day, i don't do night photos,not going to say the common roads i take, would make it too easy to guess in the future, but sometimes i just use the same route over and over, so i cannot take photos of it to share more than let's say twice.

[Zeffy]

Okay Roadrunner, have you been to these places before or are you just throwing out educated guesses? 

[Roadrunner75]

Give me a few clues, and lots of zooming in and out of Google Street View will do it.  For the last one I had IL, not 55/57/80, a pond on the opposite side, and the pavement condition.
