I did some more calculations.....from my house via MC Bridge will be 630 miles and 9 hours/45 minutes. Via GW Bridge would be 9 hours/25 minutes.

GW is thus 20 minutes faster. I may try the MC way up this time, then 15 to 91 to 84 (near Hartford) to 90/290 to 495 to 95.

All I know is that I took the GW/95 way up last year and it wasn't horrible, but I got stuck on GW coming back. It was probably the timing (left on a Sunday morning, came back mid-week). I'll be coming back mid-week again, but my friend in Maine swears that the MC bridge is the better way.

I will report my findings..........

"depending," is the problem. Geographically, it is a shorter drive. 3Hotdogs Aug 2021 #11
