You're gonna be in the Southern part of the state so not so bad, I grew up 5 miles from the Paulsboro TA and there is usually parking there...although from time to time it fills to capacity. The McDonalds across the street has truck parking but if you are going to reserve than you won't need it.
As stated give yourself a LOT of time. Pope is in DC and I believe will be going to NYC tomorrow so he's gonna be on that route and its going to be a mess. Also depending where you deliver in Mount Laurel just give yourself time because a lot of lights when you get into town that you can get caught at for a several cycles due to traffic -
FatDaddy is the resident expert on that end of New Jersey and Houston, TX.
FatDaddy Thanks this. -
Are you running placards?

Pope will be in Philly all wknd...not sure when he flies I tho.....philly has gone ####### w/overzealous bs.....including forcing all residents in basically a two mile radious of the art museum to have their cars gone le be towed starting last sunday....so be aware cuz Mt Laurel is basically Philly east&w/all the bs on the Pa side....no way it doesn't spill over to 295...42...57 etc.....once in s jersey......AM 1060 KYW radio does a real good job of traffic.....
Now just to be contrary......since most of y'all know I rarely if ever pay tolls....of course also to me Laudon to Jersey is a Night Flight no matter what......
81n...into Pa ex#59...581...follow across river....to pa 283....marked airport/lancaster.....be careful to take ramp just before tpke entrance to stay on 283....follow thru Lancaster....it miraculously turns into rt 30....follow to us 202n....to I 76...the Shurekill Exp....thru Philly over Walt Whitman bridge....295N on Jersey side....poof free....lol
and like I said...night flite....i typically hit Lancaster bout 4am....then the trip on 30 usually a breeze.....lights all on trip after midnight....
have fun...

1060....traffic on the 2s....unfortunately I think he's gonna be traveling in the daylight hours. Takes a tad longer when the sun is up. Lol

truth....Pope in DC Wed, Philly Thur, NYC Fri.....then back to Popesville

The Pope is flying into JFK Thursday, 9/24 and departs NYC Saturday morning. He will be flying into Philadelphia. HIghway travel through the region shouldn't be significantly impacted. Trying to get anywhere in NYC/Philly is another story during the visit.

Looks like the Philly area closures will be starting in force on Friday so coming in tomorrow won't be as bad as trying to get out on Friday when all the traffic that goes over the Ben Frankin into Center City gets diverted to the other bridges.

They started the lockdown in Philly on Monday. I was in the city last Saturday and they had already dropped the barriers in center city. A friend of ours owns a restaurant in Chinatown - she is closing Thursday night and not reopening till Tuesday. Closing the Ben Franklin is ridiculous. Big difference between how NYC handles a big event and Philadelphia. Granted, Manhattan will be a nightmare on Friday, but they aren't closing bridges.FatDaddy Thanks this.
