Also on I-80, about how many toll plazas are we dealing with between Illinois and Indy. I found one at the I-294/80 (plaza 45) junction for about 5 miles (medium truck 3 to 4 axles -$2.80 cash) and then it looks like no more tolls on 80/94 into Indy, if you get off at exit 40. For West coast travelers getting an EZ-pass is not a very useable item, if you don't frequent the Eastern part of USA, so cash and credit card seems the best action.

Henry, I think you are correct, only one toll plaza, but go any further east, watch out. Quite a sticker shock for us westerners. You can avoid that toll plaza by going through South Holland. We did that last year and not a bad detour if you need to make a pit stop, but for $2.80 stay on I-80 to avoid city traffic.

Last couple of times I bailed off I-80 at South Bend (I think exit 72) took 20 and 33 to Goshen; but always wondered if there was a better route.
