Washington DC alternative routes?
We are looking at 2 routes around DC to avoid the beltline and 75 as much as possible. We will be arriving at Cherry Hill from Williamsburg, VA. Would it work if we took 3/33 to 17 to 301/3 to 50/...

I think the op meant RT 97 which is Georgia Avenue. If this is the case, I would avoid taking this route due to traffic lights and heavy traffic. I would stay on the Beltway to I-270 and take it to Frederick where it connects to US 15 and take 15 to Gettysburg. Try to avoid the evening rush hour or be prepared to spend extra time on the road.
Also, I would time my arrival near DC to avoid rush hours and take the Beltway to Cherry Hill Park. US 301 is way out of the way and the bridge over the Potomac is narrow and many people are scared to cross it in a large RV. I prefer taking the Beltway over the Cabin John bridge rather than over the Wilson Bridge. Either way, get in the middle lane and take it easy. The right most lane will have a tons of vehicles merging in.
Good luck!
