I am looking for easiest Route with my Phaeton, towing. My best option looks to be Palisades Pkwy to 6 across the Bear Mountain Bridge and continue up 90 to I 84 to I 691 to I 91 to 2 to 395 to 195 in Providence and then on out.
Obviously can't go through the tunnel into Manhattan even I were certifiable, have no desire to spend my inheritance crossing TZ Bridge not that Bear Mountain is a lot less and cannot drive on the Taconic Pkwy - low clearance and not legal.
If anyone who drives this route has suggestions I am open. Plan to be doing this on Tuesday July 11. Traffic doesn't worry me too much. Am prepared to take my time.
I don't think you'd want to do the Bear Mtn Bridge and you CAN;T go up the Palisades...I would go from Liberty Park over to the Garden State Pwy...up to 287 then west on 287 to 87 north and cross the Hudson at the Newburgh Bridge...5 axles is $11.50....then 84 across Ct to 691 east to 91 north to Rt9 south to 95 south for 16 miles....this is how I would go.....I grew up in this area ,and have driven all you can think of here...this route,a little longer than the others but I bet at least an 1 1/2 hrs shorter from the traffic
An option would be Garden State to 287 east over the TapZ...then another choice up 684 to 84 OR 287 east to 95 and up that way....neither of these get my vote...have fun...Chuck
ps ,while in Madison go up Rt1 to Bill's seafood at the Bridge right on the Clinton/Westbrook town line..best seafood in Ct
