will be taking a trip in August from NJ to Bar Harbor and looking for reccomended routes...
I'm on the central western part of the state. West of 287 and between 78 and 80.
Years ago when I went I remember hating the 684-84 route through Connecticut. So I was thinking of skipping that and going 78-287-87 north- to 90 east, then 495 to 95 to Bangor and across 1.
Take your original route. We do it in the reverse if we go south. The Bangor interchange has been redone. You will get on 395 for a short while which alleviates weaving through the city, then it's 1A down to Ellsworth and you hook up Rt. 3 from there.
I just remember the last time it was hard to keep any momentum with all the cars getting on and off the highway, you can't drive the left lane with a trailer and It was just a lot of congestion in general especailly around all the cities it went through. It goes through Danbury, Waterbury and Hartford. Maybe it's changed. But I specifically remember me telling my wife...Remind me not to come this way again.
Still true but you can circumvent Hartford by taking 691/91. That's the trucker's preferred route.
