Hi All, for all you knowledgeable East Coasters.....Drivin g from Richmond Va to Worcester MA tomorrow. thinking avoiding DC and NYC most desirable. How about Delaware bridge, is it horrible going north on a Summer Friday?? anyone familiar with Annapolis MD is the bridge to the Delmarva Peninsula a Friday nightmare? Or is going into NYC on a Friday okay, since it is not the main exit but against the flow (I'd hope). Any and all suggestion welcome.

It is a longer trip but I generally go up I81 to Scranton, 84 East from there when I ride to/from VA -Massachusetts. I have done the shorter NYC thing but generally at the small hours of the morning.

I always go well west of DC - If I were in Richmond and going to MA on a motorcycle, I'd take 522 up into PA and then take I-81 or US209 or something.
I can't tell you how the Richmond - DC - New York I-95 corridor is on any particular day, because I last did it about 10 years ago and that was enough for the rest of my life. I can't think of anything that would drive all the pleasure and happiness out of any trip I was taking faster than going that route .....

Unfortunately, I95 is generally terrible. As far as avoiding NYC, though, you should consider using the Tappan Zee bridge. It'll work fine for where you want to go.

Thanks for your suggestions and thoughts. I think my last trip was coastal but I was going South, not North and midweek. I will look into the Scranton route again, it has been a while might be worth it, I-95, NJ Turnpike and Parkway may actually be used as illustrations in recent editions of Dante's Inferno.
