Portland Maine to NYC (LIberty harbor RV)

While the GWB is the closest and most direct route to Liberty, you really have to pick the time of day and day of week to do this. Also, propane is allowed but only on the upper deck and the lane choice to get there is important (and a bit before the actual crossing). The Bruckner and Cross Bronx Xways are a maze or construction areas and poor road conditions, so in general we in the northeast avoid I-95 and the GWB like the plague.

The alternative is Tappan Zee Bridge/I-287 to the Garden State Pkwy, to I-80 towards Secaucus and there you can pick up the Turnpike (I-95) to I-78 right to Liberty Park. The advantage of going this way is that you can take I-95 to I-495 to the Mass Pike out to I-84, then I-684 to the the Tappan Zee and miss all the Connecticut I-95 mess. The only sticking point with this route is Hartford.

Are you planning to stop along the way or push straight through?

Thank you for the input. We will be traveling on July 3rd (Monday)and will be in the area around 1-2 pm. This is a set schedule with no choice of days or time to travel. I will look at that route. Thanks

Btw.. we will be traveling straight through.

X2 You want to approach from I-78, the NJ Turnpike Extension, Exit 14C. I-80 to the Turnpike (I-95) is probably the best plan, especially around a holiday.

I looked through it all last night. Looks like it is simple enough. I will take the advice and thank you both.
