At least. That would be great timing on the way back though...

Like I said, traffic moves very well that early in the morning and I can be down there (just east of Culpeper on Germanna HWY) in just under 2 hours. Going back though, even if I were to leave by or before 3pm, 95 North is still sketchy but the beltway getting through Alexandria is usually bad.

I would say on a good day it would be a total of 4.5 hours but can easily be more as the commute home can easily reach the third hour.

That being said, that trip is now only a day or so every two weeks. My first couple of weeks I was doing that about 3 days a week.

Company car takes a bit of the stress out though. That and satellite radio.

It is at its best at night when it is raining. ** -- UsherDog2008 04/24/2017 04:55AM

Yes - and when you are taking yet another drive to Norfolk -- agray123 04/24/2017 08:25AM

Just pay the $32 fee for the express lanes ** -- TheNuke 04/23/2017 7:38PM

They were open in the opposite direction both ways. Part of the charm. ** -- CPRVHokie 04/23/2017 8:04PM

There was a wreck there a couple of hours ago. ** -- reestuart 04/23/2017 5:35PM

Was a tractor trailer sitting in the gully next to 81 like he parked it ... -- `lag 04/23/2017 5:42PM

By chance, did the truck happen to look like this? -- Hokie360 04/23/2017 7:25PM

I'm taking 81 340, not cutting through DC these days if I can help it. ** -- `lag 04/23/2017 5:13PM

On a weekend? A fool's game. Unless you're rolling by 6am. ** -- Hokie Bird 94 04/23/2017 3:41PM

Time doesn't matter. I've been stuck on 95N at 3am -- bluehokie 04/24/2017 08:08AM

That's the exception, not the rule. ** -- Hokie Bird 94 04/24/2017 09:52AM

It's nowhere near that good. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 04/23/2017 3:18PM

Hell aspires to be I-95 ** -- TomTurkey 04/23/2017 5:05PM
