Pa 209 south from Port Jervis

Rt. 209 is a nice drive, and best enjoyed if you're not in a hurry. As for the Allentown/Bethlehem area, avoid Rt. 22 if you can. There is bridge maintenance going on at night; during the day the westbound traffic gets bogged down just west of the Rt. 378 interchange. Going east there is construction so traffic is funneled down to one lane going into New Jersey. If you are coming this far south and are just passing through east- or west-bound stay on I-78. It is a little longer and you have to climb South Mtn. but it's often less congested.

We crossed the river from NJ last Saturday at Milford and headed south on route 209 to I80. The road is in good condition and construction is finished.

Only issue we had that day was further south in the Bethlehem/Allentown area with a 1/2 hour delay on route 22 for bridge construction.

Thanks for the specific info, much appreciated.

It's a nice ride. Mostly 45 MPH but there's lots to look at.
