Does any body know how to get the garden state PWY w/o having to go over the GWB?

Question

I live in CT and want to go to the jersy shore for the weekend but I hate having to go over the George Washington Bridge. Isn't thier a way I can take route 15 to the garden state instead of I-95? or any other way that will allow me not to have to go over the GWB. Any suggestions will be greatly App.

Answer 1

Connecticut to the Tapanzee Bridge (spelling).
The continue south on the roads in NY to the exit for the Garden State Parkway.
Then it is south to your beach town.
May be a longer drive, but you can avoid the Washington Bridge Traffic this way.

Answer 2

You got plenty of options:

- Tappan Zee (go through the Cross-Westchester Expressway when coming down from Connecticut).

- GWB.

- Lincoln Tunnel (will require going through NYC streets, which can be troublesome).

- Holland Tunnel (will also require going through NYC streets).

- Go into Queens first (Triborough, Whitestone or Throgs Neck bridge), then into Staten Island via the Verrazano Bridge, then into New Joisey via the Goethals or Outerbridge Crossing. Can get expensive though with the bridge tolls.

Look up those routes on Google map.

Hope this helps, and have a pleasant trip.
