I live in the unfortunate southeastern corner of VA, so I need to head south. I usually take 95 south, but it's so crowded! I have heard if you go up the eastern shore over the bay bridge tunnel from Norfolk you can cross over on US 50 but how far is that? Once I get out of the DC area I can find a way back. I HATE I-64 from Richmond to the I-664 turnoff in Hampton- parts of that near Busch Gardens are backed up for miles too
But anyway, back to NO-VA. These are the ideas I had:
Take I-66 a little west to US 17 (I actually live off of US 17 many many miles to the southeast!) But I would take 17 to 95 coming out of Fredricksburg and that should avoid the NO-VA traffic.
or
Take I-66 to VA 234 down through the Manassas area where I can hit US 1 or even 95 at a less crowded place
or
take 50 out of DC to hit US 13 on the eastern shore down to the bay bridge tunnel over to Norfolk.
I've also heard 301 will get you out but you have to get to MD first?
Which of these, or another alternative, sounds best to you? I only want to get out of the DC area, I can work my way home fine the rest of the way. Thanks.
U2Kitten - do you live in northern VA? MD? or somewhere else?
