B) has way less traffic so during the week I would go that way..


When you get to Stroudsburg you will find 209 closed to all commercial traffic. This is not a weight restriction but an esthetics closure.

See route 209 here about half way down the page.

So this tells me that there may be some low hanging branches maybe then on 209 NE of Stroudsburg. Which way do truckers go then? Up I-80/I-380 towards Scranton?? That would add 50 miles, but maybe good for me to lessen the white knuckle stuff.
