This will usually cut out 10 minutes ...... however if it's during a rush hour (4-6p) avoid this route like the plague !

I also take Exit 10 to 290 most of the time. You are right about avoiding it during rush hour though. I just figured since Oregonrain was doing this just for one trip I didn't want to get into a discussion of when to take or not take the shortcut thru Worcester on 290. Last month when I came home I would have been going thru there around 5:30 pm so I stayed on 495 to exit 22 and picked up the Mass Pike in Westborough.
I'm heading up tomorrow from NJ, and since I'll be going thru Worcester around 10 a.m. I'll definitely take 290. It is 7 miles shorter than staying on the Mass Pike to 495. When you're travelling 300+ miles, every little bit helps.
