I need to drive from Portland to Providence on Friday morning, June 20th.

If I follow Mapquest directions, the vast majority of the trip will be on Interstate 95.

They estimate my 180 mile trip will take about 3 hours 15 minutes.

Considering it's a Friday in June, is this realistic?

I'm not familiar with Boston traffic or road construction, but, as a Chicagoan, I can imagine.

Would I be better off taking 495?

Thanks
