Winnie to Pennsylvania

I travel from Alton Bay to northern NJ regularly thru the summer. I prefer the Merritt Parkway to 84/684. No trucks and less traffic. There is construction on 84 this year in the Danbury area. The only problem on the Merritt is they are doing construction after 7 pm and close 1 lane below Fairfield around exits 41-38. Travel during the day should be okay.

Going to PA, I would recommend taking the route you outlined in post #1 and after crossing the Tappan Zee take the Thruway north to the Garden State Parkway (approx. 6 miles). The Garden State Parkway takes you to the NJ Turnpike at Exit 129.
