In accordance with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' recommendations designed to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will not be accepting cash payment for any vehicles conducting essential travel via the eastbound Blue Water Bridge (BWB) to Canada.

All commercial traffic will need to pay by prepaid commuter account cards or debit/credit forms of payment. MDOT encourages any commercial travelers who wish to apply for the prepaid commercial account to visit www.federalbridge.ca and complete the application.The Federal Bridge Corporation Limited (FBCL) suspended all private passenger vehicle cash transactions effective March 18 for their westbound BWB crossing. In order to continue to reduce the spread of COVID-19 disease, MDOT's BWB has added further restrictions on forms of payment and will not accept cash payments for any toll crossing, effective 11:59 p.m. Reducing person-to-person contact via cash exchange will help reduce exposure to contagion.In accordance with orders from the United States and Canadian federal authorities, temporary travel restrictions on all land ports of entry and ferries between the U.S. And Canada have been in effect since March 20.Border protection agencies from both nations remain committed to supporting safe travel for essential customers and commercial truck traffic.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will suspend normal operations at U.S.-Canada land ports of entry and only process travelers engaged in essential travel.

The Illinois Tollway is reconstructing the BNSF Railway Bridge, which carries the triple-track railroad over I-294 between Hinsdale and Western Springs, to accommodate the reconstruction and widening of the Central Tri-State Tollway.

The existing bridge will be replaced with a longer, wider two-span steel beam structure that will accommodate four tracks and will allow for reconstruction and widening of the Tollway underneath. The new fourth track on the bridge will be used for maintenance purposes by BNSF.

Additionally, a dynamic merge system, commonly referred to as a zipper merge, will be used this year to help manage congestion and reduce travel times through the work zone. Digital message signs will advise motorists when to move out of the left lane and prepare to enter the work zone. During uncongested traffic, motorists will be instructed to slow down and move to the right lane well in advance of the work zone. During more congested periods, drivers will be encouraged to use both lanes, taking turns merging into the open lane at the point the left lane is closed.

Effective 6:00 am Monday, March 2nd 2020 weight restrictions will be imposed and enforced on all state trunk line highways within an area of Michigan described as follows. Highways north of a line on M-43 in the City of South Haven east to US-131 in Kalamazoo County then south to I-94 in Kalamazoo County then east to I-69 in Calhoun County, then north to Lansing then continuing east on I-69 to Port Huron in St. Clair County.

Highways south of a line on M-55 from the US-31 intersection in Manistee County east to M-66 in Missaukee County then north on M-66 to M-55 in Missaukee County then east on M-55 to the intersection of US-23 in City of Tawas, Iosco County. All state trunk lines between these two lines will have weight restrictions imposed and enforced.

With only a 1 minute difference there are still several factors to consider.I-76 is a toll road so you will have that expense when traveling. The plus is that it has rest stops with gas and food approximately every 50 miles. It patroled often and there are emergency telephones positioned every so many miles (maybe 5?). The surface is not the smoothest in some places and there are a few places that the weather can cause bad conditions (near several of the tunnels that go thru the mountains).I-80 is free but if the weather gets bad it can be a nightmare. There are certain areas that have white-outs during snow storms. I can't remember any year for the last 10 or so that there hasn't been at least one accident during a white-out involving a 10-60 vehicle pile-up. Also, exits are further apart at places and its not partrol as much.

There are many deer crossing the highway so night driving gets more dangerous.I drive both of the highways often. If it is spring, summer, or fall I often take I-80 or take one highway going and the other coming. In winter I usually stick to I-76 even with its cost and other flaws. Sometimes Google Maps is too smart for your own good. The I-76 directions are not very good, as the local roads have a lot of traffic.

I do like the I-76 route better this time of the year, but here are better directions:Exit I-276 (Pa Tpk, changes from I-76 to I-276 at Valley Forge) at the /Route 1 Exit. Use a left toll booth. Take Route 1 North (careful- it's a tight merge) to route I-95 North.

Take I-95 North to the very first exit in NJ, NJ Route 29 (It is immediately over the bridge- the very next exit after the Yardley- exit in PA). Take Route 29 north to. It's a little further, but should take about the same time, and will be less stressful and much prettier. Let me contribute my two cents as we have driven from the area to the suburbs literally more than 3 dozen times. Though we have tried I-80 in summer and winter, I really prefer the PA Turnpike for your trip. Neither route is perfect, but the Turnpike is better maintained re snow and ice and its more southerly location often means less snowfall to deal with as well.The cost of tolls on both the and PA Turnpikes increasingly is an issue, but I still prefer using the turnpikes.

On occasion, we drove to Philly on the PA Turnpike and returned to Detroit on I-80, just to try something different, which you might consider for the experience. Unfortunately, I never found a reasonable alternative route for the Ohio Turnpike. Tried it once. FAQs ARE HERE!.
