Question:
If one is headed to the catskill mountains from Boro Park where is the correct place to say Tefillas Haderech?

Answer:
You should say Tefilas Haderech either after the Washington Bridge or even on it.

Skvere Dayan shlit”a
why? after the bridge u are back in a makom yishuv – within a parsa of yishuv no more bracha
See O:CH 110-7, and M:B 29,30. We say tefilas haderech after traveling 70 amos out of the city, and it can be said until the person is within a parsa of the place that he is planning to rest, not because there is another city along the way. The reason for this is because he is still in danger.
