Commute time from Franklin, MA to T F Green Airport in RI? (Wrentham: rent)

[Demetra]

What would be the quickest route and approximate drive time from Franklin, MA (area south of 495 near Wretham line) to T F Green Airport, during rush hour? Thanks for your help!

It would probably take 40-45 minutes. I feel the best route would be 495 to 95 to 295.

I agree on the route, however it might take a bit longer in heavy traffic.
It usually takes us 40-45 under normal circumstances.

Why 295? I access TF Green directly from 95.

I thought the same thing. my guess is to avoid providence during rush hour. I've never been on 295 though. BTW OP I think it will be more like an hour to an hour and a half (95 can really back up especially if there's an accident).

My husband uses 95 as well. He laughs at me because I use 295 'cause I just don't like driving through Providence.

Exactly!
And driving thru Providence during rush hour is a whole other topic.

Taking 95 during rush hour adds about a half hour for me but I'm coming from 195.

Does anyone know how traffic and time would be if we avoided 495 and 95 entirely? How about taking 114/Wrentham Rd/Diamond Hill Rd. south from Wrentham to 295?
