I used to love driving the Taconic when I was in college. No traffic. No trucks. Gorgeous road.

I’d vote for the 87 north to I84 east to Taconic route from Jersey. You’ll have to dig around to get the little cutover route from the Taconic to Williamstown. Basically take the Taconic until it ends and cut over through Canaan and New Lebanon, picking up Route 22. You want to end up at Route 43, which intersects with Route 7 in South Williamstown or continues on and turns into Water Street in downtown Williamstown.
