Is Joliet IL relatively safe for an overnight stop?

Just a note if you are not familiar with the area. I've been told by my brother who spent a 35+ year career as a Joliet area sheriff deputy that the 4 miles from Briggs St. on the east side of town to Larkin Ave, on the west side is the most dangerous stretch of I-80 in Ill. The combination of heavy traffic, grades, and curves on the bridge approaches makes it an accident looking for a place to happen.
