Traveling to Cape Liberty

[bkrickles1]

I'm sailing LOS on 7/2 and driving from Long Island to Cape Liberty.

I'd like to take the route that brings me to the Bayonne Bridge as it'll be a Thursday morning and I don't want to go through the city.

I know the Bayonne Bridge is under construction and appears to be closed every weekday from 8am to 3pm.

Has anyone gone this way and knows what happens?

I believe you are diverted to Goethals Bridge.

Is that a tremendous inconvenience?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Oh, by the way, 11 days!!

I would avoid Brooklyn and Staten Island completely since there is construction on The Belt, SI Expressway as well as the BQE. Take Grand Central to Triboro bridge to Harlem River Drive to GWB then down the NJ Turnpike to 78 to the Port. It may look crazy on a map, but it's much quicker - I do it everyday for work. Enjoy
