Did you ever take the Merritt Parkway (Rt 15) to White Plains instead of I-84 / i-684?

Been on I-684 it's a nice road, but a little longer....

Any major construction on I-84, especially through Danbury CT ?

Thanks,
Bigdog

Yes, I have taken 84 to 91 to 15 to 287 before. Depending on traffic in the Hartford area, I would say it is the same amount of time to get to the Tappan Zee as 84 to 684 to Saw Mill Parkway to 287.

Now that one of our sons will be attending the University of New Haven, I suspect my wife and I will have numerous opportunities to take the Merritt or 95 to West Haven, CT.

Drove down the Merritt on Monday. Came to a standstill a few times due to some type of mowing or clean up on the side of the road. This was also happening on the north bound side. Although I'm told the Merritt is shorter - I prefer to stay out on I84. Don't like the two lanes, winding road and no shoulders. I like having more road to navigate should something happen around me. I'll be taking the Thruway over Newburgh/Beacon bridge to 84 home. No more Merritt for me.
