Travel news for our westbound friends:
No delays from Crawfordsville to Missouri via I-70 west. I-44 has short sections of construction in Missouri restricting to one lane at times for less than a mile or two. The largest construction was the mile marker 184 to 176 on I-44 southbound. We went downtown in Tulsa and there was some construction and backups, the bypass around Tulsa would be a better route. I-44 in Oklahoma City has major construction just before you get to I-40. The traffic moved fairly well but the road surface is pretty rough. I-40 in Oklahoma has construction and down to one lane from approximately 40 mile marker south for 27 miles. One lane closed off and on, we moved right through with just light traffic- mostly semi trucks. We are stopping at the Big Texan in Amarillo for lunch today and I’ll update you further on the trip after that. Good Steaks- its a must stop and see if you have time.
Drive safely.

Traffic update:
No road construction in Texas as far as Amarillo. The roads here are bumpier than I had imagined they would be.
Texas is clear to New Mexico on I-40.
New Mexico has completed most of their construction. 75mph speed limit and no construction to speak of until mile marker 324 to 316 just past Tucumcari, New Mexico. Down to one lane each direction on the same side 55mph speed limit.
Its clear from there to Albuquereque and the construction in town is now complete and very nice. You will encounter a couple of small construction projects west of Albuquereque, but nothing to worry about traffic wise.
We are staying tonight half way between Albuquerque and Arizona at exit 84 Super Walmart. 75mph speed and no construction to that point.
More updates from here to Phoenix tomorrow.
Drive safely.
