Ya totally depends on current traffic conditions. 95 in Connecticut can be
avoided by taking the pretty Merritt Parkway.

Hi all - we recently did this trip. Left east silver spring 9 Am and got to
mystic CT by 5:15 pm. Honestly Delaware nor NY were the main issues - 95 in
CT was. I agree with leaving early (and not on Friday is you can)

Family members are driving to Connecticut, then Maine, soon with a
two-year-old on board and would like to avoid as many traffic backups as
possible. Brad recently drove to Hartford on a Friday afternoon and
encountered a significant backup before the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
Is the Delaware Bridge issue ongoing, even on weekends? If so, is there any
way to avoid the backup?
Any thoughts on taking I-895 before BWI? We've done it and preferred it to
staying on 95, but Waze seems to prefer 95.
We are advising them to cross the Hudson on the Tappan Zee Bridge and then
take the Saw Mill River Parkway to I-84. Or to take the longer and less
curvy I-684 to I-84. Or to tay on 287 to 15 to I-91 to 84.
All advice is welcome--
