2) Another member suggested taking 290 to cut the corner over to 495. Your thoughts?
290 runs through Worchester, Mass and can get pretty congested at times. We've done it twice but prefer to stay on 90 all the way to 495.
The suggested 84-691-91-84 loops around Hartford, while staying on 84 goes right through. Have not taken the loop ourselves as we typically do NYS Thruway to Masspike, but we did 84 for the first time in years last summer and hated going through Hartford. We'd consider the bypass if we did happen to be on that route in the future.
