As someone who frequently drives from NYC to CT and VT, it all sucks. The best way is to figure out the hours when traffic is the lightest and go then. Helpful hint- Do not drive south on the Merritt before lunch. Do not drive north after lunch.

Thanks. We generally try to go off hours, sometimes it doesn’t work out though.

Yeah, ever since the pandemic, traffic in CT has gone from awful to apocalyptic.

It’s crazy to me because traffic for me on Long Island has been better than it was pre-pandemic. What was my 1:10 drive to work is about 55 minutes now and my drive home went from 1:15-1:20 down to about 1:05.

This weekend was very weird, even for Newtown. It was exceptionally trafficky at all times.
