Hi Dave:

If you drive from Wall Twp. westward on I-195, you can connect with NJ = route 29. Route 29 connects to I-95 (the =E2=80=9Creal=E2=80=9D I-95, = not the NJTP) near Yardley, PA. You can cross the Delaware River at the = Scudder Falls Bridge, which has no toll=E2=80=A6 (at least for now). = You can also get on to I-295 (north.. west..) which becomes I-95 after = it crosses over US-1 near Lawrenceville. Since, the later route is on = an interstate road, the traffic might move a little more quickly, but it = would be longer. Consult your GPS, and choose a no-toll route.

Didn't I say that yesterday? I-95/I-195. No tolls! I-95 goes direct to PHL too for those that might be flying in/out. It's fast too save for during the rush hour but then, what route isn't? Typically, there's some conjestion due to perpertual I-95 construction circa the Vine Street Expressway up to around Girard Ave. interchanges. So, go have a cheesesteak and a beer, and wait out the end of rush hour. Gino's, Pat's and Jimmy's aren't far off I-95, and the Reading Terminal Market is also an interesting experience not far off I-95 as well.
