Best routes: Niagra Falls to Mystic CT to Cape May NJ

[gtandpt]

Wondering what the best routes for travel in a 37' MH w/toad for the listings. 

Old Mystic, CT to Cape May, NJ is the one I would be most interested in any comments. Trip planner suggests I-95 across the GW bridge in New York, but I have heard some horror stories about that area.

Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. The best advice I can offer is when coming South on 95 I would take I-287 The Cross Westchester Expressway. Take this to cross the Hudson on the Tappan Zee. Yes this is a little longer but in the big picture is easier and cheaper. I would take 287 all the way to the Garden state Parkway. Last summer going north on I-95 the toll on the George Washington was $76.00. 

I would look at getting an EZ Pass if you don't have one.

Take the scenic route if you are not in a big hurry.  Pick up Hwy 18 out of Niagara (look on map) to Lake Ontario State Parkway (or you could stay on 18).  On to Hwy 390 than 104 to I-81S to I-84E and cross the Newburg/Beacon bridge.  No tolls except there is one across the bridge,  two axles more than 4 tires is $5.00
