In heavy traffic, what's the best detour route to get from NJ Turnpike to New Haven, CT?

March 24th, 2011 Admin

Anyone?

1) Is it NJ Turnpike to GS Parkway to I-80 to I-287, over Tapan Zee Bridge, reconnect to NY Thruway?

2) Or is it Take I-87 North Albany to I-84 East to Route 7 South to Norwalk, to I-95 E?

3) Or is it ALWAYS faster to take NJ Turnpike to GS Parkway to Fort Lee, GW Bridge, Cross Bronx, Hutchinson, NY Thruway, I-95 reconnect?

Or is there an even better way?
Also which way will cost you the least in tolls?

   I would recommend a modified version of #1 and #2.

   GSP to the end dumps you on 287 or 278 (the numbers flip-flop up that way) and takes you right to the tappan zee (no need to go 80 to 287 which are often a mess!). Once over the tappan zee, 278/287 will take you to 84 and 684 and you can go south once you are in CT.
