Mapquest.com suggests that from Paulding Ave, Irvington, NY (a town directly adjacent to New England side of Tappanzee Bridge is 282 miles from just Gilford NH ( no street name). If you know of a route that will bring you to the bridge in about 4 hrs with a stop, that would be a valuable asset.

From just below Bridgeport, CT during non rush hours I do the trip in 4 hrs +/-, but no stops for 254 miles. I find I can stretch my engines legs doing the highways more than just direct routes, so I take 90, 290, 495 to 93 N then get off Lakes Region exit (29?) past the toll booth. The part of the trip that you have no time control over is the local roads to Gilford.
