Taking fifth wheel from central jersey to Disney world

Agreed with Mike T above - once south of Fredericksburg, VA, there's really no worries on I-95. Construction is at a minimum all the way into FL, I just did the trip down and then up again, around T'giving. I-95 is probably in the best shape it's been for many a year.

Scenery won't mean much if the OP drives at night, and besides, even during the day, the northeast is brown and grey now until about Easter.

I made it all the way from Port St Lucie to the Del Mem Bridge in just over 16 hours, and that was in the rain and fog from Santee north.

Unless there's an accident blocking lanes, you can go straight through Richmond in 5 minutes. No need for the bypass there.

Jax had a bit of construction going on in the NORTHBOUND lanes of I-95 in the southern half of town, but going south we buzzed right through it at noon on a Tuesday. Going home, I took the eastern (beachside) bypass to see the new bridge.

Georgia is three lanes in both directions for virtually the entire stretch.

Really, unless there's an accident (which can happen anywhere, even on I-81 or US 17) I-95 is fine. And realistically, with the new HOV lanes and all the construction between Washington and Baltimore now, even THAT stretch is far better than it used to be. 6 or 8 lanes in most places. If you haven't been on that part of I-95 for a few years, you'd be amazed at the improvement. Would I do it at 5PM on a Friday in the Summer? Probably not, but I wouldn't advise driving ANYWHERE on the east coast at 5pm on a Friday in the summer.

South of Richmond 95 is fine. I agree there have been some improvements however between NJ and Richmond there are still lots of pitfalls. I live in the Balto./Washington corridor and it is no cake walk.
Take 13 to the east and take the shore route or take 81 to the west. But avoid the mid Atlantic if possible.
