We're going to Chicago in a week so I can cram a year's visiting into five days. Some­where deep in the recesses of my mind I recalled the Tribune covering the opening of the I-355 extension from Lemont to I-80. I took a look at Google Maps and was surprised to find:

I appreciate that Google gets its map data from Chicago-based Navteq, but they have managed other updates (I guess mainly satellite?) quickly. I mean, it's not like the highway suddenly sprung up overnight, it's been under construction for several years.

If Google or Navteq would like a higher resolution image of my little map, just drop me a note, though they may wish to reference the Tollway's map
