    The Tapp to 684, then to 84 into Hartford and 91 down to East Berlin?

    78-287-95-91 easiest route. The GW and cross Bronx can be screwed anytime of day or night.

    Could do, or across the tapp straight over to 95 up to 91



    For the best answer- check what traffic is as you approach various alternative routes.

    I always took the 287 around to 95 & 91. The Tappan Zee is now the Mario Cuomo bridge. NY and the GW bridge has a web page where it shows the HazMat restrictions for the George Washington bridge. Some HazMat is allowed on GW and some is only allowed on the upper/lower deck.
