I have drove in 49 out of 50 states (never been to Hawaii) and Illinois ranks the worst in my opinion. It’s like they ran out of asphalt and stopped doing any repairs 10 or 20 years ago.
To people not living in the U.S., feel free to complain about your country’s roads too.
Rauner blocked the state budget for years so there wasn’t any money to fix roads. They are currently fixing all of the neglected roads and bridges now. There were bridges with chunks of concrete missing and exposed rebar that they addressed or are addressing first. They are currently repaving and upgrading the intersection of i57 & I74 for instance.
