Around New York City Cheap and Fast

All depends where your going in the NE... if your heading to Mass, Maine, NH, or VT you can take I-287 to 87 over to 84 then to 90... All you would have to pay is the toll across the Newburgh Beacon Bridge which I believe is $10 bucks, could be wrong.

If your going to Rhode Island/Southern CT then yes I-287 back around to 95 would be the cheapest route in tolls even tho, you still have to pay $35 or $40 for the Tappan Zee..

 

Is it worth it for you ? It was like in Manhattan on I35 in Austin, TX yesterday. They must pay with gold to drive NE

 

Always used 287 years ago, with the economy picking up soon there willl be only nighttime driving left tomake any money

 

12 bucks on the Beacon Bridge for a standard 5 axle, only reason I know I crossed it Monday.

 

Which way are you coming from going to JFK? or better where from--couple of ways to save a buck or two....but great deal depends on starting point--fill us in

 

Actually it's 12.50. They charge 2.50 per axle for trucks. Cross it just about every day.

 

Good thats the cheapest from the bottom--in NYC itself-seems many I talk to got their 1st set of directions going over the GWB and never deviate--is why I asked
-Now depending on how far south your coming from you can save some more--for example if you are south of DC--u run 495 around west side--to 270--to 15 to 81--78-287-440-278
Less than 30 miles longer and no tolls till outerbridge--and although this has been talked about on many other threads--with alas too much argument--MANY of us still sneak of the island--over the 59th st bridge--into the Bronx and out for free.....Not as risky as some make it out to be--but...
Good Luck
