Texas to Portland, ME

I am looking for suggestions in planning a route from central Texas to Portland, Me. I would like to avoid large cities and too many toll roads. Our schedule allows us 5 days to get there.
Thanks

  • I-30 in TX to
    I-40 in AR to
    I-81 in TN to
    I-380 (near Scranton, PA) to
    I-84 in PA to
    I-90 (Mass Pike) go one exit to
    I-290 in MA to
    I-495 in MA to
    I-95 in MA to Portland

    You pay to cross the Hudson River in NY and you pay for 12 miles on the Mass Turnpike plus about 70 miles of I-95 in ME.

    I-20, I-59, I-75, I-40 then above might be quicker depending on where you are in TX.

    I have a place in the RGV and relatives in NH and have tried every route there is.

    I would use Good Sam Trip Routing to select exact highways and overnight stops. Specify "avoid Tolls".
