Which way when I-95 becomes complete?
 
You know how because of the fact that I-95 is discontinuous, a lot of thru travelers tend to drive down the NJ Turnpike to the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

But, in late 2018, I-95 will become continuous courtesy of the fact that two high speed flyover ramps are being built where I-95 and the PA Turnpike cross. As a result, I-95 will reroute onto the PA Turnpike over the bridge into NJ, then meet up with the NJ Turnpike at Exit 6.

My question is, which way do you all plan on going once that's complete and why?

I hope Gov Christie isn't involved with any of it because if he is you'll probably end up in West Virginia!

I'd be worried about someone who's actually thought about this.

Given that I95 and the NJ Turnpike are one and the same in northern NJ, what difference does it make that one continues on I295 to by-pass Philadelphia.

I just notice that the vast majority of trucks stay off the NJTP below exit 6. The toll is a cheap price for staying away from them. Maryland and Delaware are such truck hell that I take all the opportunities (Cross and Merritt and Tappan Zee and GSP and NJTP) that I can to avoid them.

I've never known anyone driving I-95 who followed it into PA except by mistake. NJTP to and from the Delaware Bridge.
