donmimi Posted September 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Looking for some hints to avoid traffic at Port Liberty. Not only do the Jets have a home game on embarcation day on October 20th, they are playing the New England Patriots!! Yikes! We need to travel by car from Connecticut and I am sure using the Tappan Zee will be a big idea, but any further hints. side roads and bests wishes will be appreciated!

turbo321 Posted September 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The stadium is to the west of the Turnpike the port is to the east, this area is designed for lots of traffic during the week, multiple events during the weekend are not a big deal. Just take the Eastern Spur of the Turnpike and you will probably not even know there is a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davrap222 Posted September 13, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2013 We traveled the same route from RI last fall on a Sunday the Giants had a 1pm game. We passed the stadium at about 11am with no issues or traffic. It was an easy ride all the way down. Even though the Pats are playing there, I would not be overly concerned. I suggest getting an early start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedl Posted September 13, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2013 As has been said, the amount of traffic on a weekend day is nothing compared to a weekday with many more cars travelling into the city. Even with a game on, it will be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenfromjersey Posted September 13, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Like other said, just take the Eastern Spur and you will have no issues. I just dealt with it last Sunday as the Jets had the 1PM game and we were headed to a 1PM game for the Yankees. They ended at almost the same time and we would have never known.

stroh33 Posted September 13, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It's a Jets game if they keep playing the way they are now you may only have to dodge the 50 people in attendance that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaworthy01 Posted September 13, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Now if it was a giants game it would be a different story. But the jets? No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaworthy01 Posted September 15, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I will be traveling north on that day, we will be leaving early just incase the traffic is heavy, if not, no big deal. We will just go look at the memorial at the end of the pier. It's worth wasting time around the port area rather than stressing over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
