Commute Time From Plymouth Mtg to Temple (university, campus)

[lvkewlkid]

I will be visiting Temple University-Main Campus this Saturday. I will be staying in Plymouth Mtg near the mall.

When I used Google Maps, it said the best way was to take Ridge to Diamond to Broad. I am familiar with the area, but I don't know the traffic on the way to Temple. I am going to need to be at the campus by 9 AM, how long should it take for me to get from Plymouth Mtg to Temple? Also, is there a better route than taking Ridge, like taking 76 instead?

Thank you in advance for your help.

On a Saturday morning, traffic shouldn't be much of an issue. Instead of Ridge, I would take Henry Avenue (fewer lights), left onto Allegheny and right onto Broad. If you go on 76 East, take Route 1 north to Broad Street and go south. Probably not a huge difference in time.

thank you very much, now would both routes be about 30 minutes in travel time at 8 AM?

Yes both routes would be about 25 minutes. I am a former Temple Grad 06 and from the area. Since its Saturday Morning take the highway(if it was a weekday their would be traffic and I would suggest to go rdge to diamond). Just take 476 (aka blue route) south to 76 E towards Philly. After getting on 76 E it merges with route (after about 10 miles of being on 76)1 N, take that to the broad street exit and then make a right on broad street and go down about 2 miles. The University is right there. It is probably about 18 miles and 25 minutes tops.
