I've gone this way several times. Distance wise, it's a little longer. Time wise, also just little longer but less of a chance for traffic tie ups. The fastest way, and we went to Berwick, Maine for several years, now to southern NH, is 95 all the way. but I would only do it on a weekend. Construction in No and So. Carolina can be bad, it's still only two lanes. They are widening it now. Plus, on weekend you don't get the commuter traffic in all the urban areas. If you want to avoid the GW bridge in NY, take the Garden State Parkway up to the Cuomo Bridge (687), then up to 684 to 84 thru Hartford.
