That route will be mostly 4-6 lane highway…and is quite boring. If you don’t mind some highway, head through Baltimore up 95 to Philadelphia, then take 611 North to Stroudsburg. Depending on where in the Poconos you’re going, you can grab 80 there. The drive from Philly to S-Burg up 611 is awesome

Route 611 through DWG is currently closed for months by PennDOT to stabilize the cliff face after a big rock slide there. If coming from the south towards Stroudsburg, going to need to use Route 33 to cross the mountain at Wind Gap.

No problem. Last I heard, it was going to be closed through the majority of next summer.

Business owners in Delaware Water Gap borough are understandably pissed since it had just reopened after an earlier road collapse that required like 400+ segments of Jersey barrier to reinforce the roadway.

Apparently getting approval from the National Park Service to work on the cliff face in the Rec Area's going to take PennDOT some time.

611 is closed between Easton and Stroudsburg, but they could take 33 up from Easton. Scheduled to be reopen by September.

611 from 95 is one long line of traffic lights. A really long haul going 15 mph.
