Route to Albany

[TheTrader]

Hey all

so, I got a trip-tik from CAA for the Albany trip, incase I happened to get broken off from the convoy, but I am not sure if it is over the same route everyone will be following??

I've got it crossing from Canada in Woodstock NB onto the 95 and following the 95 untill a bit before Boston, then jumping on the 495 and following that unitll the "mass turn-pike" which looks like the 90 and following the 90 right into Albany....... Does this sound right ??

Pretty sure there is another common route, but apparently this route is supposed to follow the best quality roads.

you'll be going onto the Mass Pike! yay! that is the Massachusetts Turnpike. i guess that is what you take from where you are at. Paul (19grandamgt99) and i will be traveling that route as well.
also use Mapblast if you can

That IS what CAA says to use but it certainly isn't the best route being coming through from Woodstock down through the top part of Maine is EXTREMELY BORING!!!!! ... we went that way the time we picked up Greg buht I would suggest we go down through Saint John, acorss the #9 down to Bangor and on the #95 from there ... much nicer IMO :)

The first time I was on the MassPike, I got stuck in traffic hour 2 hours after I got my ticket to get on....

How far out of Albany will you guys be getting on I-90 and will you be going east or west? Thanks ~Grim

We usually get on I-90 off 495 (Just before Worchester) and then take it West into Albany.
