[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2588559, member: 15643"] FWIW, just got home from a 1793 mile trip from here in NW OK to Chicago and back. Highway 412 from I-35 to Tulsa is the worst of the entire trip, and it's mostly concrete turnpike, most of which is less than two years old. Could be like floating on a cloud in Cadilac........not in my F250. Some stretches of I-55 from St. Louis to Chicago are asphalt, and some rough places here and there....much like here. Biggest thing I noticed from traveling in OK, MO and IL was that the roads in MO and IL may a have a bump here and there, but those bumps are patches, not unattended holes, like here. Also noticed that here in OK, the roads are not flat, and am constantly rocking around in our seats due to humps, dips and the roadway being not level from one side to the other. Only in OK, when getting on and off a bridge, it launches you up or down...........MO and IL, couldn't tell when you were getting on and off the bridges. There's signage from St. Louis to Joplin on I-44 advertising "more funding for our roads and bridges", must be an election coming up. One last thing I noticed, MO highway patrol, approach and visit with the driver from the passenger window, and don't stand out along the outside lane like here in OK. [/QUOTE]
