Perfect! I must've missed those. I only pay super close attention right around the release of a blog so I must've skimmed over. Thanks OMC! I think if number 14 was just around the corner from the motel in 13 (which I think is correct, we'd see that small tan house and the road shoulders would match better. I like the view though so I'm putting it as possible spot for the time being.

If they are and since the Lower Wacker Drive is really a series of service tunnels, I wouldn't mind call it The Tunnel, or The Basement. That is because even with a handful of docks they might put into the game, there are some warehouse people that would take the goods that have arrived and deliver them to their final destination via service corridors.
That is a possibility, 1948LJMack.

I tried to fill in the roads with overlays on the spoiled map of Illinois. I'm just an amateur and not a pro to make it. My guesses could be wrong so an apology in advance. The purpose of the map is to give a better idea what roads are already in "work in progress" according to the leaked map:

That should go in a spoiler caption. Not everyone wants to see that.

That hole in the Southeast hopefully gets filled in. With this dlc for sure.

Whoops, I totally forgot to add the spoiler caption. Thank you Madkine and Flight50 for reminding me.

I agree to fill in the south east. Even though the map looks dense, it is very empty there south east (towards south west Indiana and west of Kentucky).

@Mooner_37 That looks accurate to me, however I think the road you have marked as IL-2 south of Rockford might be IL-251, near those landfills: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Orcha ... FQAw%3D%3D

Could be possible. IL-251 is very close to I-39. It had a junction on US 52 too like IL-2 does.

The route for US 20 should be I 90

Going to Rockford from I-90/94 interchange

Just letting mooner know nice job on it too

Thank you :D. Both US-20 and I-90 are very close to each other east from Rockford. But I understand I-90 has the priority above US 20

* I updated the overlay map. Thank you all for the suggestions and help ;)

I know this has been mentioned before, but I hope can get to see I-88, I know it has been cut from the leaked map from the trailer and the usa_vege.dds image, but I think you can make I-88 work like with the picture I made, I did have to merge to I-88/I80/Illinois SR 84 interchange to get it to work, but it does seem like the space is there to make it work with some adjustments
