I'd also submit another alternative; just use the maps and plot the route yourself. I never use the directions that Google, Mapquest, etc give out and always make my own, which so far has not let me down. Some of the better tools can tell if you certain areas are under construction as well, for example the Dan Ryan in Chicago and 65 N of Louisville (which will be finished when the sun burns out). Of course some people do not like or want to take the time to plan routes themselves, but I've always found that I can frequently beat the applications if I put a little time into it. Plus I kinda like doing it anyway... YMMV.
