I95 or I84 to Epping ??
 

Ok my New England friends, should I take I95 or I84 to Epping this year?
Last year we took I84 and it really beat up my motorhome ... ,cracked a couple of storage compartment supports and broke the LP gas pipe!
Is the I95 route any better?....I'd rather pay more tolls than have to fix the motorhome again.
lets hear it.

Tom,
I am on 84 and 95 all the time. 84 is better than 95 and is shorter to Epping.

I'd recomend I84 to I90 to 290 to 495 to 125. We always stay off 95 in the NY NJ area,both for roads and traffic.

Holy sh#%, I thought Michigan roads suck.

tom
how are you going to get to 84

Re: I95 or I84 to Epping ??
 

84 is the better way,i think the did some repaving of some sections since last year ,,95 can be a huge traffic nightmare at any 24hr period gmonde

You couldnt pay me enough to take 95. EVER!

I would rather leave a yard sale of parts up 287/87/84 than take any portion of 95!

Looks like it's I 84.....Thats the way we used to go years ago when we went there.
Vic, I go I 78 to I 287 to I 87 and get on I 84 at Newburg. ....took 7 hours last year from Allentown......Was'nt really looking to save any time , I don't think any of the routes are quicker than the other.....I just was looking for a better ride. ....I 84 in Connecticut was just plain terrable last year.

and you all don't have to pay a toll at tappan zee bridge toll (40.00)also take the 691 to 91 back to the 84 around Hartford.it's 3 miles longer but easier on the head.

But 95 is far worse, especially if you get in in one of their infamous and never ending road work areas. We used to take 95 to 287 but our first trip on the Mass pike (I-90) to 84 convinced us we'd never go back to 95 again.

Rt.125 is slightly shorter than staying on 495, to 95 exit 2(Rt. 101), but there are many speed limit changes along the way, so keep an eye out for the local law enforcement...especially in Plaistow (ask me how I know!) Also, if you get back on 95, there's the opportunity to restock with adult beverages at the conveniently located State Liquor Store right on the highway!

Tommy,
I-84 does suck, but I-95 makes 84 look and feel smooth, not to mention uncongested.

Whatever way you decide to go, avoid the George Washington Bridge at all costs as there is a new construction project starting up this week and will last the rest of the summer. Promises to make the the trip from Jersey a living hell. They have been talking about it on the traffic channel all week. Best channels in the tri-state area are 880 and 1010 AM or 101.9 FM.

Im taking the Orient Point Ferry
..Is it OK to take 95 from this point or should i take 84.

Re: I95 or I84 to Epping ??
 

Go up rt 32 to 395 to 290 to 495. You'll avoid traffic.

To those planning on taking Rt 290 thru Worcester to Rt 495 north, be Warned!
it gets a little rough going around Fitton Field at Holy Cross College.
If you on the Mass Pike (I-90) stay on it until you get to the Rt 495 exit in Westboro.

To those that want to use Rt 125 in Plastow to get to the track, there's a Haffner's Fuel station on Rt 125 in Masachusetts,
a New Hampshire State liquor store in the DeMoulas plaza 1 mile north, and a Irving Fuel Station with a Dunkin Donuts 5 miles up on Rt 125
all are accessable to Motorhomes and long trailers.
There's a Wal-Mart past the junction of Rt 125 & Rt 101 where you can "stock-up" prior to getting on Rt 101 for a mile to the exit to the track!
