Just to confirm once again
Gle and Foy,
Thanks again for all your help. So again just to confirm the route,
I - NJ Turnpike to Delaware bridge to 95 South to exit 4a (DE 1 south)
2 - DE south to exit 97 which should put me on US-13 south
3 - Then I cross the CBBT
4 - Then I take the exit for I-64 east towards Chesapeake/Suffolk
5- Then I take the exit for Virgina 168 south which becomes N Carolina 168 south
6 -168 south should take me to the Wright Memorial Bridge
7- After the bridge I make a left on N Croatan Hwy which should take me to Duck.
Does this look right at a high level? Also where is the halfway point where you recommend breaking for lunch?
Thanks.
Thanks again for all your help
Foy and glc,
Thanks again for all your help.
I concur with glc, and............
.........I'd trade any/all of the bad points about US 13 for the 100 miles saved and for not having to go through the Balto-DC corridor.
And, just trust me--you want no part of I-64 from Williamsburg, VA on through Chesapeake, VA, across either the HRBT on I-64 or across the MMBT on I-664, unless your encounter with Tidewater, VA traffic would be late at night or in the wee hours of the morning. Any crossing between, say, 5am and 9pm is liable to include heavy traffic, stop and roll, lane closures, or all of the above. By contrast, from the south end of the CBBT to I-64 is < 4 miles and there are 5 stoplights. Mid-day or rush hour traffic may be heavy, but you'll be on I-64 headed east towards VA 168 within a few minutes, and unless it's rush hour, you'll be to the VA 168 exit within 15 minutes of getting on I-64.
Without trying to be rude about it, if a person can't navigate from the south end of the CBBT to I-64 and from I-64 to VA-168, that person shouldn't be traveling to begin with. If you've followed the advice offered in this thread and have familiarized yourself with the route as depicted on maps, and if you have a GPS on board, it will be fairly difficult to so much as miss a turn.
