From Wikipedia...
The Amstutz Expressway is a short, limited-access road located in Waukegan, Illinois. It was built in the 1970s to ease traffic in Waukegan’s downtown area, but it is now known as “the road that leads nowhere” by locals. The 2.9-mile, four-lane highway was intended to be a connecting route for the downtown area, but a critical link through the neighboring village of North Chicago was never built, and the factories that the expressway was designed to serve have since closed. Today, hardly anyone uses the thoroughfare.[1] Because it is used so little, this short stretch of highway has been the setting for filming such movies as Groundhog Day, The Blues Brothers , The Ice Harvest, and Batman Begins.
