Utica to Watertown New York

[Kountryguy]

Can anyone help with Route advice on going from Utica to Watertown. Both my trip planners are sending me I-90 to I-81. Google Maps sends me up Route 12, about 30 miles shorter. I see no low clearances, but not sure about bridges, etc. Any input will be appreciated.

We are going to give Rt. 12 a try. Thanks for your advice.

If you're in no hurry, I would take Rt 12.

Kountry,
We used to travel that area often, but the number of relatives there has deceased.
Not only will NY-12 be shorter, but look up the fare for that section of NYTW.
My bet would be that the drive time would be about the same but a much more pleasant excursion....
