they don't actually go in ur ear. the vznavigator person doesn't
speak the whole time; so, in between turns, u can rock out to
bubba sparxxx. well, for 1, u shouldn't be driving and texting at
the same time. shame on u.

GW is usually bad but can be ok on Saturday. Alternate route I suggest (if you want to fly and pay tolls;)) is Garden State Parkway all the way to I-87 East to Tappan Zee bridge to I 287 East to 95 north and then take the exit for Crab Shell. You can also switch to Hutch Pkwy from I-287 at exit 8 S-N.

And I will add to Barry's list ;)

I looked at this route and this is the way that I am going through from Philly. I don't want to go through the City or near that place. I may get diverted to a "dollar store":p

That's the route I take. You can take the NJ Turnpike to exit 11 which will put you on the parkway.

  • Merge onto I-295 N toward NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE/ DEL MEM BR/ NJ-NY (Crossing into NEW JERSEY). 6.4 mi
  • I-295 N becomes NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE N (Portions toll). 73.0 mi
  • Keep RIGHT to take I-95 N/ NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE N toward CARS/ TRUCKS-BUSES (Portions toll). 17.9 mi
  • Take the GARDEN STATE PARKWAY exit, EXIT 11, toward WOODBRIDGE. 0.6 mi
  • Merge onto GARDEN STATE PKWY N (Portions toll) (Crossing into NEW YORK). 43.2 mi
  • GARDEN STATE PKWY N becomes NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY N. 1.8 mi
  • Take the I-87 S/ I-287 E exit, EXIT 14-1, toward NEW YORK CITY. 0.5 mi
  • Merge onto I-287 E/ I-87 S/ NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY S via the exit on the LEFT toward TAPPAN ZEE BR (Portions toll). 11.9 mi
  • Keep LEFT to take I-287 E/ CROSS WESTCHESTER EXPY via EXIT 8 toward WHITE PLAINS/ RYE. 11.4 mi

Those are horrible directions. Just

Take the NJ Turnpike to the GWB.
Take Cross Bronx Expressway and follow the 95 North signs
This takes you to the NYS Thru-Way into CT
Then take exit 7.

I'm assuming the crane collapse will affect my traffic?

cmyX6go 05-30-2008 11:22 AM

Don't listen to Clint (sorry). The trip is more miles going the parkway over the Tapanzee bridge and to 95 but it's a much easier/faster ride. I HATE the GWB. I always take the parkway to the Tapanzee bridge when I travel to New England.

The crane will not affect you if you go my way. :)
