According to AAA Mapping, you're absolutely correct. We omitted a critical step in this discussion. Going North from TV, exit I-95 at 86B onto I-26 W towards COLUMBIA, and drive 52.3 miles. Then exit 116 to I-77 N towards CHARLOTTE and drive 227.4 miles on I-77 before exiting to I-81 N.

Like sheep, we've been using I-95 back and forth to NY for 35 years but it's time to try another less-traveled route. This appears to be shorter than staying on I-95 to Richmond and then taking I-64 W to I-81.
