...From Scranton area I run 81 north to 88 in Binghamton, NY, then 88 to Albany area.
We went that way when we visited the Adirondacks in 2016.
This year on our way to Acadia N.P. we're staying in Littleton, Mass., so Penny can visit the N.E. Quilt Museum. Going to Albany first will add 70 miles and 1½-2 hours to our travel day.
I'll just pack my patience I reckon.

I hate I-84 in CT once you are west of Hartford... I've had nothing but bad luck thru Danbury and Waterbury every time I have taken it. So much so I now cross the Green Mountains of VT on Rte 9 when we leave NH for our travels rather than put up with I-84 in CT... And I have family that lives down there, too!
That's the way we're coming home from Center Harbor. Our "problem" is we're going to Lowell, Mass., so Penny can visit the quilt museum. Any alternatives to I-84 seem to take us out of the way, adding miles and hours to the day's drive. We try not to do more than 300 mi. in a day for mental and posterior health reasons. - ct1964upsExplorer

We will be going from Scranton to Littleton, Mass. on I-84 in about two weeks. Anything I should be aware of? Is all the bridge repair finished?
Thanx,

We have a place in Ct between Waterbury and Danbury and most the comments are valid...we Just did Ct to Maine to Mohegan Sun and down South without stopping back at our place
So if you travel on Saturday or Sunday thru there it runs pretty well---Did Mohegan to NY border in just 2 hours..
As said,they opened a 3rd lane thru Waterbury,should be a huge help...Danbury ,all it is,is traffice,slow but moves..15 minutes,same with Hartford....
Once East of Hartford ,runs good....C - _tiredTeacherExplorer II

We can handle slow and moving. It's that move-stop-move a little more that frosts my cookies.
Thanks for all the advice.
