Richmond area to OBX
Read that there is construction on Rt. 64. How bad is it? Is there another route to take to OBX?

- went through there last week, wasn't bad. about five miles of lane additions in the center as you approach Newport News. Just try to avoid peak times
- Not up to date on the construction on 64, but it is a terrible drive most of the time anyway. The route Roy B provided is the go to route around 64 and the dreaded tunnels.
Careful on 460, last winter I encountered what felt like a speed trap at every little speed limit change between 295 and Suffolk! Best of Luck. - obey all laws and do not speed in Emporia.
bumpy - US460 to US58 to I64 at Chesapeake then 168 down to NC then to Currituck. Then you can pick up US158 to head on down to Kitty Hawk
Have also gone on down thru Emporia and into NC and picked up US158 around Roanoke Rapids... More miles this way for for haha... We like seeing the country places alot too...
Not sure where the construction is on I64...
Have done this a couple of times with my smaller OFF-ROAD Starcraft 14RT POPUP trailer bypassing the mess around Hampton and Norfolk.
Also bypasses the tunnel where you have to have your propane tanks checked first by check station.
