Best Time to Drive from The Bronx to Gravesend

None of this drive is measured by working traffic sensors right now. The rest is estimated from nearby sensors, typical speeds and street traffic, so times can be off. Why so few sensors work.

On weekdays the 29-mile drive from The Bronx to Gravesend (via I-678 South) usually takes as little as 40 minutes and up to 99 minutes, when leaving around 4 pm on Wednesdays. Midday (11 am to 2 pm) it takes about 71 minutes. On weekends it is slowest around 6 pm on Sundays (79 minutes).

Freeway, about 19 miles: times follow typical and live traffic from our sensors. Surface streets, about 10 miles: 18 to 54 minutes on weekdays, estimated from how jammed the freeways around them are at that time (we don't have street sensors yet).

Simulated from typical freeway speeds at each point of the drive for the time you would reach it, from every 5-minute reading we have recorded. We don't have sensors on surface streets yet, so the time on them is estimated from how congested the freeways around each end of the drive are at that time, in both directions: streets jam when the freeways do.
