So if you're heading east on 88 and you are trying to take the 290 W/294 N exit and want to exit off 290 W...no dice. And you don't find that out until you've already merged and have no choice but to drive on 294 N until the Balmoral Ave exit which is loads of fun because you'll get stuck at that maddening light for a minute at least just to turn around and drive back 6 miles so you can take that exit.

Thanks for the warning, guys! It only says "Ramp Closed" after you've already made your exit. I thought they had to post those orange signs for "Ramp Closed". They did that for 294 S (which they're closing again) weeks ago.

Is it too much to ask that in this day and age of everything being connected that GPS knows when a fucking ramp is closed?

Yea, I agree. This happened to me two nights ago and there was no warnings at all. Brutal.

yet you'd cheer them closing streets for self indulgent douches with bloody nipples

There is days, if not weeks of notice for marathon/5K street closures.
