Driving drections opinions from South Jersey

<p>Looking for opinions on best routes to take from Southern NJ to W & M. Have been taking 95 to 64, Traffic is always a problem. Thought about taking rt. 13 over the bay bridge & tunnel and then up rt 64. Hax anyone taken rt 301 ? Any advice of opinions are appreciated. PS: Will start outgoing over the Delaware Memorial bridge.</p>

<p>The tunnel down by Newport News can be a huge mess, just so you know.</p>

<p>How long does it take you? It should probably be 4-4.5 hours with no traffic, maybe slightly less?</p>

<p>The route down the eastern shore bypasses traffic, until you reach Virginia Beach. Back around through the Hampton Roads Bridge tunnel is a nightmare. Any time saved from DC/No Va traffic is lost.</p>

<p>Without traffic it takes about 5 hrs, but we always hit about an hour of traffic. Has anyone ever taken Rt 301 through Maryland to Rt 17, which comes over the gloucester bridge into yorktown? This route would totally avoid Rt 95 and also the BBT and the Bridge from Norfolk/VA beach.</p>
