RE: Indiana I-94 to Rockfort IL
I assume you mean Rockford. Unless you go on a weekend or at 3am, you will need to be prepared for absolutely MISERABLE traffic if you go the most direct way, which would be I-94 to I-80/94 to I-90. Even then it won't be pretty. Construction is making things worse.
The next best alternative would be to avoid downtown Chicago, via I-80/94 to I-80 to I-294 to I-90.
The NEXT best alternative, and one worth considering, is to get out into the "country" as fast as you can. Two alternate routes would be:
1) I-80/94 to I-80 to I-294 to I-88 to I-39 to Rockford.
2) For even less traffic, from 80/94 stay on I-80 west all the way to I-39 then up to Rockford. Either of these are a little indirect but you won't be hating life as much as you try to get to your destination.

I-80/94 is a mess! I was in Hammond IN yesterday left at 1:00 p.m. to head back to Green Bay WI. Bumper to bumper, construction, stop and go traffic, like I said, a real mess and by the looks of it pretty dangerous on a bike. 294 isn't much better, construction, they are installing the lanes for open road tolling for I-pass. I travel this area a lot and it used to be just rush hour was this bad, 7-9 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. but from what I was told yesterday from the guys where I had my meeting, there is no good time right now.
Just a thought, did you consider taking the ferry out of Ludington Mi to Manitowoc Wi or Muskegon to Milwaukee across lake michigan?
Then just jump on I-43 out of either town and that takes you to I-90 which takes you into Rockford. Only traffic you have to worry about is in Milwaukee Wi.
