That was the problem I didn't have a choice. I had to take 64 to 95. The only alternate route was surface streets. I left Norfolk at 11am and I didn't make it to 495 (140 miles away) until 7pm. I tried to get off of 95 at Fredericksburg and take US-1 north to avoid it. It wasn't any faster than sitting in the traffic jam though. Still took me 2 hrs to go 20 miles. Got back on 95 at dumfries and all the traffic was gone. Breezed through 495 didn't hit any stopped traffic the rest of the way home. I was just trapped in Virginia with no way out, and the longer I sat in traffic the more fluid it dumped out.
Funny part was even screwing around on surface streets and dumping atf in every hour. Way up in PA around 9-10 pm I ended up next to a chick in a droptop camaro that I was next to in traffic trying to get across the bridge out of Norfolk at 11am
