I will be going around the DC beltway between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. There shouldn't be that much traffic at that hour.

I'm sure that you can make better time than what I posted. Knoxville in 10 hours is 60 MPH average.

I guess that you will pick up I95 in MD. What time will you get to the DC Beltway? Maybe we can hook up there, since I will come over Rt 50 and the Bay Bridge.

 

Barry, What time do you want to leave? I'll have to gas up around Manassas VA. We could hook up there.

 

I can use my GPS as an Odometer, so I got that covered.

 

I'm not sure what time I will get out of dover. Gail works the night before. Dan can you pm me your cell #? That way we can talk after we leve....

 

Would it help if I modified my scheduled by 1 hour? That schedule was just a WAG to get everyone on the same page.

BTW, I went on gasbuddy.com and mapped out the cheapest premium gas that I could find. I also found diesel @ 4.04/gallon in Mint Spring VA near Staunton VA. It is a Citgo Station at exit #217 off I 81.

 

The DC beltway is too unpredictable to say that it should be ok between 9 and 10:30am.

 

It's unpredictable at almost any hour, but how do you get around DC without using it?

 

I just checked wtopnews.com at 9:00 AM on Tuesday 5/13. The time from I95 on the northside to I95 on the southside via I495 travelling West/South is 33 minutes. That is a 2 minute delay. Most of that is at the I95 merge on the northside. There is a 13 minute delay on the I95/495 travelling East/North from the merge on the southside to the split on the northside, but most of that is around Alexandria VA. I will get on at US50 and should be OK.
I 66 westbound has been clear all morning, although eastbound is heavy.
A little slow is OK, as long as it is moving. A 10 or 15 minute delay is acceptable.

 

Thanks for the traffic report for the day before I leave. Good luck with the traffic on your trip whatever time you hit it.




We decided to have the Wokt with the baby,Amy and I airlifted to Knoxville after reading your posts. Even with the hundreds of trips I've personally made on that road....I'm scared now.
