Northeast Connecticut to Bar Harbor Maine
Schedule to travel up to Maine from Northeast Connecticut. What is the traffic like on a Saturday late afternoon in July heading up I 95? Thanks for your input

From NE CT, take I-84 or I-395 to the Mass Pike and then I-495 around (don't go into Rt 128, traffic is always terrible there).
You may hit some slowdown at the Hampton tolls, but if you have an EZPass, you'll get through faster.
Watch your speed on 95 in Maine when the speed limit drops to 55 around Portland. Major revenue generator for the state.
X2. You can take a small chunk off by picking up I290 through Worcester. The lanes are a bit narrow but you should be OK with your set-up. All highways up here are anybody's guess on traffic but late afternoon you should be OK. If you've got the time or want to take a break, hit the Cabela's in Scarborough, ME, at Exit 42.
