Traveling to Hartford from NJ on a Friday in June

What is the best route and how is the traffic coming from NJ to Hartford on a Friday? I was told you could sit on the George Washington Bridge forever. The directions I was given are 95 North to Exit #48 for I-91 North. Is this the best way?

It depends on what time of day you are driving - Later in the day (from about 3 pm - 7 pm), the traffic is horrendous - You can also go up the Merritt Parkway (Hutchinson) to 91N - it is a guessing game, because either way can be bad depending on time of day / accidents / construction

Listen to 880 and 1010 AM as you approach New York for traffic reports every 10 minutes. Listen to see what areas are worst. If the GW Bridge is backed up on one level, take the other. If it is backed up on both levels, you can head for another bridge or tunnel. I-95 east out of New York is referred to as %26#39;Cross-Bronx%26#39; on thereports and is usually slow. In most cases, the Merritt Parkway will be a better option than I-95, but listen to those traffic reports!

Thank you very much. I have been going online to find trafic reports but with no luck so I will write down those alternate ways and the radio stations. Thanks Again!

If you%26#39;re leaving from south or west of 287, take that road into New York and merge onto 684 north after crossing the Tappan Zee Bridge. Follow 684 to its end at I-84, then turn east and that%26#39;ll take you right into Hartford.

I visit almost every weekend from New Jersey to New England and I am heading Hartford CT this weekend again ... yes, today is Friday ... I normally take Garden State Parkway to 287 East thru Tappen Zee Bridge, then I-95.

I normally chicken out as soon as I saw traffic to have a dinner before continuing. Depending when I leave home, I could have a nice dinner at Rt 46, or at Chuck E Cheese as soon as get on 287, take the first exit. Or, have dinner at Paradise Park Place food court.

If I hit the traffice approaching white plains, there is nice PF Chang%26#39;s at the Westchester Mall where there is also nice food court. Sometimes, I hit traffic at Stamford CT area, then I went to Towncenter Mall, another one is great is Millford x39B where there is a Borders and Postal Mall and Westfield Mall.

After that, I seldom hit traffice, but if I never hit traffice and pass all above places, I would go to Mohegan Sun Casino for nice buffet, will not close by 11pm on weekend nights.

Don%26#39;t EVER think of GW Bridge, forget about the radio, by the time you know there is a traffic, you got stuck and can NOT get out. Well, even so, my trick is to ';sleep'; in the car while waiting, you can easily wait for an hour, bumper to bumper ...

The charter bus for school event to Boston take Fwy 287 all the way to pass Tapen Zee Bridge then Fwy 684-N then I-84-East, as one suggested, but that%26#39;s good if you heading Boston, NOTHING quite interesting on the road. Most interesting things is on I-95. Even so, if you take that route, you can visit Danbury Mall and military museum or have a nice Old Country Buffet at Waterbury before visit the Barnes %26amp; Noble next door, the clock museum.

Another problem with that route is that it is mountain route on I-84, and you can%26#39;t just set cruise and relax, and it is 20 more miles as I measure once.

If you really want to see the nice view on GW Bridge and avoid traffic, I found if I leave home after 6pm, I would normally be fine, and that%26#39;s when I heading Boston. I would just drive thru NJ Turnpike and GW Bridge and I-95 and arrive Mohegan Sun at 9:30pm for later buffe dinner, around 11pm, take i-395-N to I-90-E to arrive Framingham Residence Inn or Summerfields Suites at 1am so that I would have a complimentary breakfast the next day before heading destination ...

It is very tire each time back from Boston to take I-84 to I-684 ... Better drive I-95 all the way thru GW Bridge. I have found if I leave CT after dinner, I would be fine. So, when I came back from Boston, I made sure I stop somewhere, say, Mohegan Sun, to have a dinner before heading back NJ ... If I tried to rush, I would end up got stuck somewhere along the route ...
