Need Driving Directions from the NY and PA crowd

[possingk]

I travel from Buffalo to Harrisburg, PA all the time and I think think going through central PA will be a bit longer it is a solid 5 hours. But the directions are easy, once in Buffalo take I90 West to 390 South that will turn into 17/15/11 follow 11/15 south until you hit DC, there are more small towns on this journey than there are on the journey through Pittsburgh and such.

NOT the way I would choose! 11/15 is two-lane most of the way and can slow you down to a crawl.

I'd take I-90 East to Syracuse, I-81 South to Harrisburg, I-83 South to Baltimore, take the Baltimore beltway around to south of that city, then I-95 South to D.C....

Thats the same way i would go, also. I-81S has been redone, and repaved, its a much easier way to go. Its also a bit safer.. more places to stop on I81. Just beware if there is snow,,, it could be a slow go...through out I-90 to Syracuse and beyond.

This is pretty good advice. If you don't mind a longer drive with much less traffic and probably better time, take I-81 all the way to Winchester, VA and Route 66 (I think) into D.C.

I-95 can be BRUTAL. I did that with my family last summer.

The route I'd take depends on what you want to SEE in PA (what stops you want to make). Are you coming to the East side of the state (towards Philly) or are you looking to get to MD ASAP?

If you're looking to come out this way, ask Robert from RKilts how he comes down. He's been here a few times.

I'm usually in a rush when I head down so I take toll roads. One way is to cross at Niagra falls. From Toronto head west on the Gardner then head south on QEW427 to Past St. Catherines then Hwy 405 cross the border take 190, 290, 90, 476, 676. Or you could head east taking 401 past Kingston take 137 south to the bridge. head south on 81 then join the 476 etc.
