I posted on the other thread, but there are ways to get to Gino's and avoid a good part of 53.
Take the Elgin Ohare west to Medinah/Meacham road, take that north to Golf, and Golf back east to Gino's.

got this from CBS's site
ALGONQUIN RD AT HWY 53 OVERTURNED TRUCK . THIS IS AN OVERTURNED TANKER CARRYING 3600 GALLONS OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE. WESTBOUND ALGONQUIN IS SHUT DOWN AT BARKER AVE. EASTBOUND ALGONQUIN IS CLOSED AT MEACHAM. GOLF ROAD CAN USED AS AN ALTERNATE. POLICE SAY CLOSURES WILL BE IN EFFECT TIL ABOUT 8PM.

Looks like we can all still get there, but there will be some backed up traffic from all directions.
