I can't be sure because I have not driven much beyond Chicago. I do recall, however, that there is a one-hour bottleneck around Rockford, Ill., where on several occasions it was bumper to bumper. The first leg of your trip from Halifax to Scranton will be partly on Route 95, which is a heavily trafficked, very boring highway, but with lots and lots of places to stop for gasoline, bad food, rest, sleep, etc. It gets busier as you go South but very very busy the farther you go south, particularly as you get closer to Pennsylvania. As you can see from the driving times on both segments, you will have to allow much more time for your trip...it's a long way...bon voyage...happy driving...bob cole
