Road Trip Time: A Journey From Allentown, Pennsylvania to Baltimore, Maryland

Are you gearing up for a road trip from Allentown, Pennsylvania to Baltimore, Maryland? If so, you'll be pleased to know that the journey is just a few hours away. But where do you start? Which route should you take? And, most importantly, how long will the journey take?

In this post, we'll take you through all the possibilities, including the fastest and slowest routes, how long each takes at peak and low traffic times.

Route 1: The Fastest Route

The fastest and most straightforward route from Allentown to Baltimore is via I-78 East and I-83 South. This path is roughly 120 miles long and takes about two hours, without traffic.

But of course, traffic is unpredictable. So, if you're travelling during peak hours, which is usually from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, it may take a little longer, roughly around two and a half hours.

We recommend this route if you're in a hurry, and need to get there fast!

Route 2: The Scenic Route

If you have some extra time, the scenic route might be more your style. The journey from Allentown to Baltimore is beautiful, and the back roads are a real treat. The 'Scenic Route' includes travelling on Route 222 to Route 30 to Route 41 and, finally, I-95.

At roughly 175 miles, this route will take you slightly longer, with a journey time of nearly 3 hours. But, if you're driving during off-peak hours, the scenic route can be a more laid-back and less stressful way of travelling to Baltimore.

Route 3: The Slow Route

The third route is the slowest option, but it may be necessary if you're travelling with a large vehicle, or you're used to driving on winding roads. This route involves taking PA 309 to Route 443 West, then I-81 South to I-83 South.

This route is about 160 miles long but may take an extra 30 minutes or so due to winding roads and a lower speed limit. Factor in peak traffic, and you may find yourself spending nearly four hours on the road.

We only recommend this route if you're comfortable driving, and have enough time to stop and enjoy some Pennsylvania scenery on the way.

Wrapping Up

With these three possible routes, you can now make an informed decision about which way to go when travelling from Allentown to Baltimore. Whether you're in a rush, want to take a more scenic route, or prefer a more laid-back drive, you'll find all options to be decent.

Our final piece of advice is to check the weather forecast before embarking on your journey, as road conditions during inclement weather can significantly affect driving times. Whatever route you choose, be safe on your travels, and enjoy the journey!
