Better way to VA beach?

Let's face it, 64 and 264 are some of the WORST roads on the east coast. We love VA beach but I am sure I am doing hidden damage to RV every time I travel the route from MD to VA beach via 95. Almost to the point that I dn't even want to go anymore. It's that bad. I cringe at the tank traps and land mines on that route. And forget about NOVA traffic. I don't care when you go, there is always a back up. Is there a better way? 81 - 66? I can google map and plan to, just wondering if any of you have a nicer route without adding too much time. Thanks
  • Agree with KD4UPL. You can also come down the Eastern shore.


    We took I95 to I295 to US 460 our last trip. Unlike 64 this doesn't bounce the sink covers off
  • Take 95 on south, 295 around Richmond to Petersburg. Get route 460 east toward Chesapeake. Then you can come into the beach form the "bottom".
