I can't seem to find a good smooth road in my area that's not under construction. Any help, Chicagoans?

So far I've found I-80 west bound from I-294 is pretty smooth. I-294 south of I-55 also has a good stretch where you can open it up a little. I'm not saying how fast I was going though. Radar detector a must!
