Looks like it's I 84.....Thats the way we used to go years ago when we went there.
Vic, I go I 78 to I 287 to I 87 and get on I 84 at Newburg. ....took 7 hours last year from Allentown......Was'nt really looking to save any time , I don't think any of the routes are quicker than the other.....I just was looking for a better ride. ....I 84 in Connecticut was just plain terrable last year.

But 95 is far worse, especially if you get in in one of their infamous and never ending road work areas. We used to take 95 to 287 but our first trip on the Mass pike (I-90) to 84 convinced us we'd never go back to 95 again.

Tommy,
I-84 does suck, but I-95 makes 84 look and feel smooth, not to mention uncongested.

Whatever way you decide to go, avoid the George Washington Bridge at all costs as there is a new construction project starting up this week and will last the rest of the summer. Promises to make the the trip from Jersey a living hell. They have been talking about it on the traffic channel all week. Best channels in the tri-state area are 880 and 1010 AM or 101.9 FM.

Go up rt 32 to 395 to 290 to 495. You'll avoid traffic.
