We do this trip every summer. 720 miles to the north side of Richmond on 301 / 95. Next morning about 100 miles to D.C. Either 495 around the city, or 295 right thru the city to either 95 north or Baltimore / Washington Parkway to Baltimore. 83 north thru York and Harrisburg to 81 north. Pick up 84 east at Scranton, across New York, thru Connecticut up thru Hartford. Over 1300 miles to get to Springfield, Mass, about 1400 to get to Boston. We've never had a problem northbound early to mid morning going through D.C. And we've never had an easy trip past D.C. southbound at any time of day.
