Driving in Russell and what it does to your vehicle

Russell roads are rural: long stretches of Route 173 and Kilbourn Road, farm traffic, few streetlights and quick access to I-94. Many residents drive pickups and SUVs and put on highway miles toward Kenosha, Gurnee and Chicago. Rural roads and gravel are hard on tires and suspension, and winter wind across open fields means drifting snow and salt on the main roads.

Good to know

• Route 173 to Green Bay Road is the simplest route and avoids town traffic.
• Long highway commutes bring maintenance intervals up quickly. We can track what is due next.
