Questions
Which of your towns has the shortest commute to Hartford?
East Hartford has the shortest drive to Hartford among the towns we cover, at roughly 5 miles and about 10 minutes in light traffic.
Which town is closest to UConn Storrs?
Coventry is closest to UConn Storrs among the towns with a published distance, at roughly 5 miles and about 8 minutes.
Are these drive times accurate at rush hour?
No — these are free-flowing, light-traffic estimates, consistent with how every drive time on this site is stated. Rush-hour commutes, especially on I-84 through Vernon and Manchester, run longer.
Why do some minutes say "estimated"?
Our town guides state an exact drive time for some towns and only a distance for others. Where only distance was available, we estimated minutes using a flat average speed (38 mph) calibrated to the towns where we do have both figures, so the ranking is internally consistent — but it’s an estimate, not a quoted time, and is labeled as such in the table.
