Is the Highway Construction on I-94 Causing Major Traffic Delays?

Click For Summary
Traveling from Milwaukee to Deerfield, north of Chicago on I-94 can involve significant delays due to construction traffic, particularly during peak times. Travelers are advised to allow extra time for their journey to avoid potential issues. Consideration of alternate routes, such as taking Route 90 to 45, may be beneficial, although familiarity with those routes is limited among travelers. The return trip, however, was reported to be smooth, especially if traveling late at night. Timing of travel plays a crucial role in the experience of congestion along this route.

We just went down to Deerfield north of Chicago yesterday on I-94. We left from Milwaukee. The construction traffic was horrible. Bumper to bumper for a long time. Be sure and leave lots of extra time to get to conference.
 
Do you think it would be worth it to go 90 to 45 instead? We're driving to Milwaukee from conference...

Also depends on the time of day. We went down on Sunday afternoon and came back Sunday night around 11. Coming back was fine. Sorry not familiar with 90 to 45.
