Hi there,
I'm traveling from DC to Syracuse, NY tomorrow. Mapquest has me using the Turnpike (toll road) near Scranton, instead of staying on 81. Any reason why I shouldn't just stay on 81?
Figured someone on here may know???
Thanks,
Jen

It's probably a little shorter to use the NE Extension of the PA Turnpike To Scranton than to use I-81 the whole way.

I realize this is too late, since your trip was yesterday, but from DC to Syracuse, I would go I-95 to I-695 around Baltimore, than I-83 to 581 (interstate connector road) to I-81 and just stay on that. There's usually a lot of construction on I-81 near Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, so that may be the reason for the Turnpike.

Hope you had a good trip!
