Hello, I get different information online,..... so I would like to know how long does it normally take to drive from New Brunswick to Lawrenceville and vs? I would leave around 6:30AM during the week and I would drive back around 5:30ish. Also like to know how much gas I would be spending on. Which online map is the most accurate? Thank you.

The normal route to take is Route 1.
Where in New Brunswick?
Where in Lawrenceville?

5:30pm is prime rush hour.
Traffic is horrible on Route 1.

How much gas? Doesn't that depend on your car?
Google Maps is still the best.

BMS? You could take 1 to 27 and then 206, but I'm not sure how much time it will save you. As suggested earlier, use Google maps for your best options.

206 is also a nightmare during rush hour due to all the people avoiding Route 1...

I did but I thought I would ask locals who are familiar with the area.

Additionally, 27--like 206--is just one lane in each direction, and 27 runs through several towns where the speed limit is 30 mph. And, as slow as the flow of traffic usually is during commuting hours, all you need is one person driving slower than the speed limit to screw-up the flow of traffic--and there are always a few those rolling roadblocks on the roads.

At least Route 1 has 2 lanes in each direction, and it is now legal to drive on the shoulder of Route 1 in some areas during rush hours.

It's deceptive because while the mileage might not be substantial, it's really a pretty traffic laden commute. Not saying it is terrible, but it is so variable time wise. I also am not sure as to the return to normal traffic ( non covid) because a lot of the office complexes are still working from home to a large degree. I would say on a good day it could be 25 minutes, and on most days more like 40 and could be more?
I am assuming Route 1.
