Thing 342

I-95 through Virginia and the Carolinas. Featureless, flat, and with pisspoor traffic.
I-64 between Charlottesville and Newport News. I've driven this road hundreds of times, and haven't found anything particularly interesting about it. The pretty views headed west don't start until about exit 124, and heading east into Hampton Roads is just ugh.
A second vote for I-70 east of Indy into Ohio. Even the short section I did (Indy to I-75 in Dayton, only about 100 miles) felt like a long slog.
I-20 east of Atlanta. Aside from a few rolling hills near the Columbia area, this is long slog on bad pavement and with relatively little to see besides pine trees.

   In the interest of fairness I would like to amend my previous nomination of U.S. 97 between Bend and Klamath Falls to Bend to Chiloquin as I had forgotten that the segment south of there was actually quite scenic with the views of Upper Klamath Lake and Mount McLoughlin to the west of the highway. (It has been a very long time since I have been on this road that far south and had forgotten about that part.) The continuously monotonous, claustrophobic feeling of being closed in by repetitive trees north of there to Bend however still causes me to rate this highway as far more boring than driving through the wide open spaces farther to the east where you can see for miles. Perhaps growing up and living most of my life in a place (Western Oregon) where I am constantly surrounded by trees has something to do with how I feel about this.
