The Poconos is approximately 126 miles, and driving around would take around 2 hours 16 minutes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you fill up the gas and create a perfect playlist or favorite podcast and snacks for your short journey! You might as well have a chance to witness the breathtaking scenery on your way!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quickest way to reach the Poconos is to take up I-280W, and the most direct route is I-80W, which takes you directly to the Pocono Mountains. I-76 and 1-78 will cost around 20 dollars in tolls, but it also depends on the bridge you take. According to Google Maps, if you take the I-80, you can minimize the tolls by less than 5% and have just a 5-minute travel difference. It also depends on what part of NY you start from and what part of the Poconos you are driving to.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1kwo8hw\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"22\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"4\" data-end=\"22\">Driving by Car<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"24\" data-end=\"470\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\n<li data-section-id=\"uzw5ge\" data-start=\"24\" data-end=\"153\"><strong data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"36\">Route:<\/strong> Drive west on I-80 from New York City, passing through New Jersey and crossing the Delaware River into Pennsylvania.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"dwkjbg\" data-start=\"154\" data-end=\"344\"><strong data-start=\"156\" data-end=\"176\">Distance &amp; Time:<\/strong> The journey is approximately 90\u2013110 miles (145\u2013177 km) and generally takes around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2.5 hours, depending on your destination and traffic conditions.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1e6ech3\" data-start=\"345\" data-end=\"470\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"347\" data-end=\"357\">Tolls:<\/strong> You may encounter modest toll charges when crossing certain bridges or using connecting toll roads and highways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2.
