[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are traveling to Cape Cod for 4th of July week.  Current plan is to leave at 5 a.m. from NW DC in the hopes of beating at least some traffic (I know this is wishful thinking).  My question for those of you who regularly travel to the Cape: what bridge do you take over the Hudson River, the GW or Tappan Zee?  If you take the Tappan Zee, what route do you take to get there?  Thanks in advance.[/quote]

Tappan Zee. NJT to Garden State to 84E, over the bridge, to Wilbur Cross/Merrit. From there you can take 84 in CT. Into MA and drop south to the Cape on 495 from the MA Turnpike or cross over to 95N around Norwalk and then follow that into Providence, and take 195 to the Cape off 95N[/quote]

THIS can be a nightmare due to Mass traffic coming south.

All of the options have been set down on the responses.  I really think be able to adapt and adjust becomes the key.  No route is perfect and all routes are very much subject to traffic/accident/construction issues.

Leave at 3 am for the best outcome!  [/quote]

OMG.  The tool from the other thread is back.  No one from MA goes south in the summer.  In fact, most people I know from MA have a place in FL for Dec to March, and A place at the Cape for the rest of the year.  Will you give it up and stop trying to ruin the MA threads? Jeff should have banned you by now.

This poster is such a strange GUY.

Wait, are you saying people from Boston don’t go to the Cape or MV/Ack in the summer?  That’s idiotic.  Some of them fly, many, many drive.  Every weekend.  [/quote]m

Clear reading comp problem as the important issue is the swing north and then getting in with Boston traffic coming south via 495 from the Mass Pike.   That is as bad as some of the Conn traffic.  The dummy pp assumed the other pp was talking about Mass traffic coming all the way south from Mass to Nj and beyond.  Silly.   Mass traffic to the Cape is an issue.  [/quote]

If we are talking about reading comprehension, the OP asked about the DC area to the Hudson river bridges - which one and route to them. So Boston traffic to the Cape seems irrelevant to this particular part of the route.[/quote]

I hesitate to become part of this discussion but it’s pretty clear the original response was saying Boston to Cape traffic would make the CT to Mass Pike to 495 routing worse than the stay on 95 all the way to 195 route. (I don’t know that I agree but it is probably day/time dependent). [/quote]
