Hope this helps.
270 is no easy trip and you still must travel 495 and connect with 95 in Springfield. Springfield to Fredicksburg VA is the hardest apart of the trip.

We have used the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel...we cut over at Emporia (about 8-10 miles inside the VA border) and head to Norfolk to pick up the Bridge tunnel. Works ok..is longer, toll is expensive but there are a lot of tolls on 95 North of Baltimore, Definitley more pleasant drive and less hassle.
