I’ll echo what the other poster said. Don’t take the GWB. We live Fairfield County and drive to New Jersey often as my husband’s family is all there. 19 times of 20, we take the Tappen Zee. It’s a little longer mileage wise but it’s always faster.

Personally, I’m like you. I dont like the GWB. Too many lanes, too confusing when you get off the bridge, the cross Bronx is a mess. Skip it!
