Traffic Question: From CT to Queens

I need some advice because I am not good with traffic on a Tuesday...

So I am going to the US Open today. I can't get out of work until 3-3:30. I am coming from the middle of CT. Normally I take 84W to 684S. I would get to the Westchester area at around 5pm.

If I need to get to Flushing around 7 what is my best bet? Should I take the train? It just kills me that I know the train will take me over 2 hours and I still have to drive an hour to the train station in New Haven. Normally the drive would take under 2 hours.

One of my friends commutes from Mt Cisco to Queens. On average it takes her an hour to get home via the Whitestone Bridge when she leaves work at 6pm. I hope that helps a little. Have fun tonight!

If you get to Westchester around 5, you might be sitting in traffic for 1-1 1/2 hr going into Queens. But you won't have to deal with that on your way home. I would drive.
