Alternate route around 95 to beat the traffic through DC/Fredericksburg??

I'll take 13 if I can or 70 west from Baltimore to Fredrick and take 340 to 7 then hit 81. It really depends on where your going. Best thing to do, sometimes, is go through at midnight if you can.

 

You can take in Maryland 695 to 97 to 301 south, it will put you on at the 104 in Virginia. You will have some lights, but it will save you time when 95 is backed up.

 

Hwy 13 has a lot of stoplights from what I remember. On a holiday weekend it can be very busy, also.

 

you got that bridge toll on 301 south. i use to always get off at the truck stops above richmond and run up 301 to 695 back to us 1 or 695 back to 95

 

13 to 50/301.

 

Isn't US-301 a toll road through Delaware now?

 

Yes, don't know how much it costs but not much traffic. There is a scale right after you cross into MD.

 

I wasn't going to mention this route because the last time I took it I didn't save any time, lots of red lights. but still more practical than 13.

 

I have driven iit many times going north during rush hour. It actually saves you time during rush hour when 95 is a mess.
