RedskinDan0557 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'm coming from Richmond, VA. I'm planning on leaving really early (6 - 630am) and taking 95N to 495 TO the game. What is the traffic like early? Heading out, I'm thinking about taking 214 over to 301 S. What is the traffic like on 301 after games? Thanx in advance. :dallasuck :eaglesuck :gaintsuck :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDSCNZ20 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I live in alexandria, about 7 miles from the WW bridge, we are leaving at 10. I don't think they are closing any lanes (don't think they are that dumb) but u shouldn't have a problem in the am... after the game..another story.

If it doesn't take you too far out of the way, 301 South would be a good alternative. It's 495/95 S that's really horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 It will be cool while you are on 95 north, but once you hit 495 the fun ends. Getting over the bridge is going to be the worst of it, but there will be traffic once you hit 495, until you get over the bridge... at least.

OVCChairman Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Gates open at 10, 3 hours before kickoff....also you gotta realize that there is going to be a Nationals Game, first pitch is scheduled for 1:05, if i am not mistaken. I dont think that it will effect it TOO much, because a lot of people will be taking the metro to get to RFK. The only advice i have is to be careful around the springfield interchange, it can be a bear, trust me i live about 5 min from it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEJ2200 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I drive up from Chesterfield - Hull St near Woodlake. If you are leaving that early, you will be fine. The traffic home can be a real bear - especially the 1PM games. It seems like you have the normal traffic plus the game traffic. Last year, after the T.B. game - I didn't make it back until almost 10PM. That was before they changed the traffic patterns leaving the stadium. To The Other Gardner - Where in Springfield? I grew up right around the corner from what used to be Edsall Park Elem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Washington Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 how do the DTC get there at 6am? i agree with most...traffic up there isn't going to be too bad. it seems most people are coming from the north (at those are the people who are bumper to bumper for a mile or so). when the game's over its like a friday evening or monday morning with accidents on both shoulders (other words, congested). i would suggest driving to the cap center and get something to eat, cruise the stores, or catch a movie instead of battling traffic till you get to fredricksburg.
