Friends and fellow roadgeeks, I would like some routing advice. Visiting family in different places this Christmas break. On the 27th (Wednesday), we will be driving from Bristol, Connecticut down to Roxboro, North Carolina, directly, without stopping at home in Maryland. Google Maps suggested going through NYC and straight down 95 to 85 to 58, which... yuck. I hate 95, especially the stretch in Virginia from Alexandria to Fredericksburg.
I’ve come up with a few other options, and I’m wondering which would be best:
Option A. 84 to 380 to 81 to 64 to 29 to 58.
Option B. 84 to 380 to 81 to 15 to 29 to 58.
Option C. 84 to 684 to Saw Mill to Tappan Zee to 287 to 78 to 81 then continue with options A or B above.
Option D. CT-8 to Merritt Parkway to 287 then continue with Option C above.
Option E. CT-8 to Merritt Parkway to Hutch to 95 to NJ Turnpike to 195 to 295, back to 95, then DE-896 to US-301 back to 95 to 85 to 58.
Option F. CT-8 to Merritt Parkway to Hutch to 95 to NJ Turnpike to 195 to 295 to 13 to Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel (does the CBBT take EZ Pass?) to 58.
Right now I think Option A or Option F would be best. Thoughts?
