What’s the best route to Maine from NJ?

I’m supposed to go to Maine to meet my grandfather for the first time and I’m planning to drive there, but I’m worried it will take a long time. What’s the fastest way for me to get to Maine from NJ?

It’s great that you have the opportunity to meet your grandfather! Even the quickest route to
Maine
from
NJ
via I-95 North will take close to nine hours without any stops. This means that it’s a good idea to stop for the night along the way.
If you do decide to stop for the night, the halfway point between the two states falls in Boston, Massachusetts. There are lots of great hotel options in
Boston
, and you could even spend a day in the city indulging your inner history buff to break up the trip a little more!
It’s also a good idea to use a GPS driving app to give you directions on your drive. Apps like Apple Maps and Google Maps can give you up-to-date information about construction zones, traffic blockages, and accidents that could delay your drive further.
