Default Merritt Parkway

You couldn't pay me enough to take the GW Bridge and 95 to 91 on my trip up, and I'm only 15 minutes from the Bridge. I take the Garden State Parkway to the NY Thruway, Tappan Zee, 287 and then the Merritt Parkway up to 91 in Meriden. Take 91 to 84 in East Hartford and then 84 to the Mass Pike. If it's not rush hour, I do go thru Worcester on 290 and then 495 to the Everett Tpke. Then 93 to 393 in Concord, Route 4 to Chichester taking the back road shortcut at the light by the Hess station. Then 28 to 11 at the Alton Circle. This trip is 305 miles from Clifton and takes me 5 hours and 15 minutes with 1 pit stop in CT. Of course the Merritt Pkway is out if you are towing a boat, but it cuts 11 miles off the 684 to 84 route and NO TRUCKS! I hate the Danbury to West Hartford section of 84.
