obeythelaw Premium join:2003-04-16 Bayonne, NJ Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS	avoiding GWB I'm taking a ride up to Rhode Island this week from NJ and in the past I have take the usual route over the GWB. Would usually hit traffic no matter what time I left but now with the construction, I want to avoid altogether. I've always noticed the Tappan Zee Bridge to usually avoid some of the major delays. I was wondering how I can get to the Tap and avoid the GWB to get out of NJ. Is that possible? If not, what route would anyone recommend in getting out of NJ heading north along I-95?

A bit longer but nicer scenery and you completely avoid the NYC-Westchester maelstrom. -- "Dance like the photo isn't being tagged; love like you've never been unfriended; and tweet like nobody is following."

Take 84, a much less traveled path across Connecticut, to 90 East just over the border in Mass. Catch Route 146, which is exit 10A, which will take you into Providence. -- You're so vain...

DC DSL There's a reason I'm Command. Premium join:2000-07-30 Washington, DC kudos:2 Reviews: ·Covad Communicat.. ·Verizon Online DSL	That is the longest route option. The 90/84 junction is often farkled, and 146 is notorious for being a total fustercluck as well. 84-7-95 is the easiest for someone who isn't familiar with the lay of the land. Or, 84-691-91-3-2-395-6, which is more direct. -- "Dance like the photo isn't being tagged; love like you've never been unfriended; and tweet like nobody is following."

I think 84 to 7 to 95 will work best. I'm not leaving until about 10:30 a.m. so I am hoping some of the worst traffic will have subsided by that time.

You might hit some midday lunchtime traffic on 9W in New Windsor, and again coming through the City of Newburgh around Broadway (17K) on the way to the bridge. You should have smooth sailing down 7, with volume picking up between the Merritt and the 95 junction. Once you're east of Bridgeport, you should be in the clear. My guess is the trip will take 3 1/2 to 4 hours door to door. -- "Dance like the photo isn't being tagged; love like you've never been unfriended; and tweet like nobody is following."
