Borman Expressway Flooding Continues To Block Nation's Major East-West Route

Flood waters still block
the eastbound Borman Expressway
-- I-80 & I-94 -- Sunday morning.

Two westbound Borman Expressway
lanes remain blocked by flood waters
this Sunday morning.

The nation's major east-west highway -- interstates I-80 and I-94 -- remains crippled as its eastbound lanes remain blocked by high water that has flooded the roadway. Cars and trucks are being diverted onto Ridge Road -- a roadway that wasn't designed to handle the heavy demands of all of the interstate commerce that passes through The Region in Northwest Indiana.

Traffic heading westward to Chicago is getting through, but two lanes remain flooded and impassible this Sunday morning.

About this time, I'm sure the Borman Expressway's eastbound drivers were wishing there was an Illiana Expressway bypass.
