I-95 runs from DE north into PA, goes through Philly, then over the Scudders Falls Bridge enters NJ just North of Trenton a bit then keeps going a little, then NJ gave up the ghost on building I-95 decades ago the interstate loops directly back into I-295 south going the other way.

There is a good website explaining this elsewhere, search I-95 Gap NJ or I'll post it later.

As you go North thru DE on I-95 the road divides, one set of lanes goes towards I-95 and I-495 which is a shortcut of I-95 that bypasses Wilmington, the other set of lanes goes towards I-295 and the Del Mem Bridge and the NJ Turnpike. that is where you make your choices.

There is no toll northbound on the DMB, so you can take I-295 into NJ and stay on that until you get to mid-Jersey. The other way is to take I-95 or I-495 to I-95 thru PA into NJ further up.

Gatting outa work c ya later

if there is traffic on the turnpike on the way home is there a way to go from Exit 6 to 130 (as I know 130 goes to 8a)? also does the traffic settle down on the turnpike after a certain time. I assume 6pm would be less traffic than 5pm.

If you are heading back north you can just stay on I-295 in NJ until you get to I-195 then rejoin the NJ YankMyCrank at interchange 7A.
