The closing for my place here in Danbury is on July 29th, and our move-out date to Florida will most likely be during the 1st week of August. So I think we have some time to meet up before I move to FL

by any chance could you tell me the quickest way to stamford from Danbury? I guess I'm looking for a way to avoid traffic during rush hours.... I figured even it's the long way around 95S - 287W - 684N to 84N would be the fastest since they are all major highways but during traffic hours it's probably jammed up.
Any advise would be awesome.

I'll give you a more detailed version of the Danbury-Stamford back roads later on.

Which part of Stamford do you need to go to? Maybe you could take the Rte-123 or Rte-106 exits on Merritt to save some time.

Dennis,
Rte. 7-South is OK to take during the morning rush (I usually take it to go to work in Wilton CT, about 30-35 min away), but Merritt Pkwy towards Stamford may not be a smooth ride. Always remember this rule of thumb: Morning traffic = into NYC; evening traffic = away from NYC.
Here's the route that I would take to go to Stamford:
7S (~5 mi) to Danbury-Ridgefield line
35W (~11 mi) crossing NY/CT border
124S (~4 mi) to Pound Ridge, NY
137S (~8 mi) to Stamford, CT
I know a lot of commuters take this route, and it works for them. Avg driving time to Stamford = 45 min. No highways, no traffic lights, just spirited driving all the way
