What is the best route from Phoenix to New York City?

I am currently moving out of my place in Phoenix, Arizona and will be taking a road trip to my brand-new apartment in New York City! What’s the route that will get me and my things there the fastest?

That’s a big move! Thankfully, it’s pretty much a straight shot from
Phoenix
to
New York City
as the best route is to take follows I-40E, I-81N, and I-10E for essentially all of the trip.
Let’s take a closer look at the steps you’ll need to take:
  • Head west on Washington St. towards 1st Ave.
  • Turn right onto N 7th Ave.
  • Merge onto I-10E towards Tucson
  • Take exit 147A-147B to AZ-202 Loop E
  • Take exit AZ-87 N onto I-40E in Holbrook
  • Follow I-40E for 2,393 miles
  • When you arrive in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, use the right line to merge onto I-81N
  • Follow Exit 89 for I-78 E towards Allentown
  • Once you’re on I-78, it’s a straight shot to the Big Apple!
The trek from Arizona to New York is going to take you more than a full day’s worth of traveling, so you might want to double check that you’ve got reliable
towing and labor assistance
included on your
car insurance
