I currently live in Baltimore but am looking to move back to the South Jersey area. I am thinking about accepting a job in West Conshohocken, PA. Could anyone tell me how the commute would be from the Swedesboro area to Conshohocken during the week? I would leave Swedesboro at around 6:30 in the morning and would probably leave work in Conshohocken at around 5:30/6:00. Thanks!

I can tell you that from Center City/30th st out to Conshohocken is about 45 minutes normal rush hour. Swedesboro to Center City I have no idea.

A map site predicts 33 minutes via the Blue Route (I-476) and 322. So you would at least avoid going through the city. But you would also be traveling with others headed to "Conshy" and especially the King of Prussia office hub. I would guesstimate at least an additional 15-20 minutes in rush hour. You might have any easier time with your 6:30am departure than your 5:00pm return.

it is generally busy but if there is an accident, is gets messy in a hurry

from Swedesboro, go across the Comm Barry to I-95 N to the Blue Route to Rt 23 to take you right into the heart of Conshy

Based on my 3-year commute experience on the Blue Route, it's not bad at all when there's no accident. As long as you cross the Commodore Barry Bridge before 6:30 AM, the ride should be smooth.

On your way back to SNJ, it frequently gets a bit congested before each exit. As soon as you pass one exit, the traffic gets better until getting near the next one. In the summer time, it's petty much guaranteed that your commute back to SNJ in the Friday afternoon would be longer than usual because of the seashore traffic.
