oldredrider 2,548 #51 Posted June 20, 2016 I-495 around D.C. is gawd awful. I'd rather walk to the show than take that route. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,082 #54 Posted June 20, 2016 I sure appreciate the heads up on 495 around DC. I'm all set on a better route. How can you go wrong on a hotel in a town called Troutville? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,131 #55 Posted June 20, 2016 And I thought the little bit I drive on 81 was bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,491 #56 Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Any direction that you go on I-495/95 is bad. The only way to avoid the extreme traffic is to travel that section between the hours of midnight and 3:00 am. My brother-in-law use to drive a tandem for UPS, and he would not drive that section any other time. Edited June 20, 2016 by rmaynard 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 6,034 #61 Posted June 20, 2016 Is 81 like 85? Trucks try to pass each other and block traffic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
