Well, I don't think it could have been much worse on I-65 north from Tennessee to Louisville. Took nearly 5 hours from the Kentucky/Tennessee border to the rest stop on I-71 just northeast of Louisville. Whose idea was 10 miles of road construction south of Elizabethtown? It was definitely worth it though, the painful traffic memories will fade, but the memory of totality will not.
