Re: Best way to Atlantic City?
It sounded like a good idea at the time--avoid a good bit of the DC Beltway, whatever route you might take to the Baltimore Beltway, the Baltimore Beltway, and much of 95 in exchange for a peaceful and scenic ride across the Bay Bridge and up lightly trafficked 301/896. However, according to getlost.com--
Alexandria VA to AC: 202.9 miles in 3 hours 36 min.
Alexandria VA to Stevensville MD (Eastern end of the bridge): 51.5 miles in 1 hour 12 min.
Stevensville MD to AC: 165.3 miles in 3 hours 12 minutes
Total Eastern Route: 216.8 miles in 4 hours 24 minutes.
I am still trying to figure out how it only takes 12 minutes less to go 165.3 miles instead of 202.9 miles--especially when the shorter distance is mostly over 4 lane highways--and I know the traffic is much lighter taking the Eastern route--but Yahoo seems to contradict my impressions.
