MASSACHUSETTS to Myrtle Beach SC
WE are going to SC from MA and do not want to go over the GW bridge in NY so thought the Tappen Zee Bridge. Go out 84 but then how to go?

There are alternatives, depending on time of day and what the weather is doing.
95 South to the TappanZee Bridge to 287 South to 78 West to 81 South. This avoids all the expensive tolls except for the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Once on 81 you have two choices.
(a) Take 66 East to 17 South back to 95 south of Washington DC. We have never had a problem going through Richmond on 95 or take the bypass around it.
(b) Stay on 81 South to 77 South to 26 East back to 95 in South Carolina.
Once on 78 you add about 70 miles taking option (a).
If you use option (b) I think it adds about 100 miles. You can either pay all the tolls and sit in stop and go traffic from NYC to Neward to Philly to Baltimore to DC or keep moving all the way with much less traffic and cheaper fuel choices.
Hope that helps with some options.
