This coming from the woman who will drive from Breezewood, down thru Winchester and cut over to 95 to avoid going anywhere near the ‘scary’ DC beltway lol.
We live in Richmond, unless you're going through late at night or early morning, I'd take 295 around Richmond - it's crazy how much less traffic there is - and a higher speed limit, so it'll almost always take less time. 95 through Richmond can be fine, but often has crashes and in general is just slower and has way more traffic than 295.Is it better to go straight thru or take the beltway around Richmond and reconnect with 95 south of Richmond? Thx
Much better than going through Richmond on I-95. With the speed higher and less traffic, I would take I-295 around Richmond if I was traveling that way.How is I-295 on a Friday morning around 9am-10am during the summer??
