The trip took 30 minutes longer and added almost 20 miles to my usual 305 mile trip.
We traveled from Alton to the Albany area before moving here. Seldom did we run into a problem as you describe. Coming this way, we would hit Brattleboro around 8pm, and get to Alton around 10. Heading the other way, we would leave here around sundown on a clear day, meaning in the evening, to avoid the solar glare. Traffic was generally light, and we didn't have much of a problem with semis. We loved the ride.
