Best Route to Maine from Delaware

Big mistake. I-95 takes you across the George Washington Bridge to the Cross Bronx Expressway onto the Bruckner Expressway and to the New England Thruway. Other than some interstates in LA, absolutely the worse stretch of roads in the country. The Cross Bronx is a maze of construction and lane shifts. I-95 through CT is 2 lane and when a 18 wheeler decides it's time to pass another it becomes a 5 mile rolling roadblock. The I-95/I-91 interchange in New Haven has been under construction for 20 years.

You should be able to use your car route across the Tappan Zee. From there I would take I-684 to I-84 to the Mass Pike, I-290 to I-495 to I-95 in Salisbury and continue into Maine on I-95.

I-95 all the way

Yes, trailers are allowed over the Tappan Zee. We've gone that way many times. Not sure there is a more "relaxing" route to get south. You might want to ask the mod to move this to Roads and Routes-you might get more/better answers there.
