I have seen many stretches of totally rebuilt highway projects either underway or completed along I-90 between Chicago and Central Washington State. I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass going to Seattle needs rebuilding. It is the crappiest Interstate I have every driven on.
In short, these rebuilds can't last forever. They basically subsidize our reliance on the long haul trucking industry.
Say good-bye, Gracie.
I just drove I-90 through Snoqualmie last week and didn't notice any problems (actually, I went up to Snoqualmie Summit from Seattle and then drove back). I certainly don't think it's nearly as bad as I-20 between Ft. Worth and Abilene. Road conditions there are perennially terrible, at least for the past five years. Maybe as the volume of traffic abates, repairs will last longer.
