whats the quickest way to south jersey on a friday afternoon?
If I wanted to get from Northern Jersey to the Delaware Memorial bridge at 5pm on a friday between memorial day and labor day which route would be the best in your opinion?
GSP? (which I remember got mostly congested around the oranges)
TPK? (which I remember got mostly congested around exits 14 & exit 8 )
287? (which I remember got mostly congested around Brunswick)

GSP wont take you all the way to the bridge. You need to be on the turnpike or 295 to get there.
Best bet is the turnpike. On Fridays, everyone takes the GSP to get to the shore towns for the weekend.
If the TPK gets backed up and you are near 195, cut across to the west and get to 295 south. That will dump you onto the bridge.

Down.
 I always, always take the Turnpike; the 16W spur, then cars only unless it's feeling trafficy then I'll go trucks/buses.

Thats a good one.. There is no easy way on a Friday. If your not on the road by 1pm then wait till after 8pm and take the turnpike.

the GSP would be the most out of the way route to go and everyone will be going to the shore tonight so it will be jammed. Dunno why anybody would suggest that.
Turnpike, is the best route. I don't think it will be as bad as you may think it, but still be pretty packed.

turnpike straight down to rt42, and take 42 over to 295 south. your only delay heading that way would be the exchange between rt42 andrt295, it jsut gets congested for a few miles, never really stops moving.

if you took 287 you would have to end up on the turnpike at exit 10 anyhow, so save the headache and just take the turnpike..

@batman, thats what i was thinkin
since i pretty much went to inorth jersey and now go to school in central and live in south jersey. 287 wouldnt work at all, the GSP is usually fine once you get past the oranges and then the traffic really dies out after exit 82 (seaside heights) since the next shore town is wildwood (and thats down in like the 20s or so i cant remember i never use the gsp to get there) the turnpike is usually congested around exits 8 and above, which as others stated the NJTP will take you to the bridge the GSP wont. you could also take the GSP down to 129 then cross over to the NJTP, its your call
