What is the best route from Connecticut to New Jersey?
I’m from Connecticut and visiting my boyfriend at Rutgers for the first time. What’s the best way to get to New Jersey?
Jacqulyn Graber · Updated on

The best route from
Connecticut
to New Jersey
is via CT-8 South to I-95 South. You’ll drive along the coast, through New York City
, and then right into the Garden State. If you avoid major traffic delays, you’ll be able to make the trip in about three hours. Keep in mind that the I-95 can get quite congested as you pass through the
Bronx
and Upper Manhattan
, and the George Washington Bridge tends to get backed up.You’ll make better time if you travel during off-peak hours. You can also use your
favorite navigation app
and listen to traffic updates on the radio to plan ahead and anticipate any delays. Another great way to prepare for your road trip? Make sure your vehicle is covered with great
car insurance
—and there’s no better way to shop for a new policy than with Jerry
. Once you download the app, just answer a handful of questions that will take you roughly 45 seconds to complete and you’ll immediately get car insurance quotes for coverage similar to your current plan. The average user saves more than $800 per year!View full answer
