1+2+3/45/6/7*89

Using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 in order, replace each comma with one of +, -, *, /, or a concatenation of adjacent numbers. Parentheses or other punctuation are not allowed and, as usual, multiplications and divisions are to be evaluated before additions and subtractions. My title today evaluates to a quantity fairly close to π. Can you come up with an expression that is even closer?
