Beltway around Richmond, VA

[Miss_Ellie1]

Will be heading to Florida from Washington, DC area and dreading the Bypass around Richmond, VA because of the terrible roads. Huge pot holes and really horrible road that shook the stuff out of the trailer. Thinking of just going straight thru Richmond on 95 and not taking the bypass. Suggestions?

I've done both. No problems...except, going south, the bypass puts you back on I-95 in the far left (passing) lane.
Gotta be careful there.

The 295 bypass is not so bad. I would not take 95 just to avoid the rough road. 95 through South Carolina is where the big pot holes are at.

Suggestions? Stop complaining. Enjoy the drive.

95 is fine as long as you avoid rush hours. 7-930 am and 330-600 pm.
