Alternate Roads

US-1: This roughly mirrors I-95 from Washington, DC through Richmond.  While the speed limit is lower and the road has stoplights, it’s a viable alternative to I-95.

US-60: This mirrors I-64 from Richmond through Williamsburg.  It’s a good alternative if I-64 is congested.  The road has a country driving experience and generally allows for decent travel speeds.

US-301: The road runs from Delaware to Richmond.  It can be used as an alternative to I-95.  If taken from Delaware, one travels down the DelMarVa peninsula and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.  The tolls are lower than on I-95.  The road can also be accessed from I-495 outside Washington, DC and eventually leads to I-295.  The route is slower, but scenic.  From Delaware, add about an hour to travel time.  From DC, add 40 minutes to travel time.

Train/Plane

Beyond the great American Road trip, our guests may be interested in the following options:

Williamsburg Amtrak Station: The station is about ½ mile from the Church.  The Northeast Region line services the station.  Taxi service is available at the station.

Richmond International Airport: The airport services a number of airlines and is approximately an hour drive to the Church.

Newport News International Airport: The airport is smaller than Richmond, but is a thirty minute drive to the Church.
