Answer 1 :
Check Mapquest.com, arguably the best site for directions, drive time, etc.
Answer 2 :
I've made that drive several times and it takes between 5 and 8 hours depending on traffic. If you're willing to leave really early in the morning, it can be cut down to 4 hours or so. Plus, it depends on your starting point. Trying it on a Friday night is a complete waste of time.
Answer 3 :
I'm not sure but you can use the following programs to help. Mapquest - Online with mapping instructions/directions from your house address to your destination address. Microsoft Streets & Trips - Available at Office Depot, Staples,etc. This software shows complete driving directions, turn by turn, also hotels, restuarants, etc., along the route. Shows mileage and approx. time to get there.... Also you might go on-line to the Chamber of Commerce for the destination city for more info...things to do, etc.
Answer 4 :
It'll take you about 6 1/2 hours, and you go straight up I-95.
Answer 5 :
mapquest.com is the one i use it gives you directions from point a to b.But you have to list the starting and ending points by address or business.It will also tell you at the top of the page how many hours it will take and how many miles.Dosent say anything about congestion you dont know that till you get there lol.
Answer 6 :
Google maps is the best for learning the surrounding areas, though from DC to Manhattan, you will get on 95 and follow signs. it's a very easy drive to navigate. The NJ turnpike and New York bridge/tunnels will rob you blind. If you have EZ pass, you'll save some time waiting in toll lines. With no traffic, it should take about 3 hours to Philadelphia, and another 1.5 hours to NYC. 95 is also a major truck route, and around this time of year, there is a lot of construction around major cities.
Answer 7 :
4 to 8 hours Have done it a dozen times map quest is way wrong dont go at or near rush hour or on a friday afternoon Amtrak is expensive but a lot less stress
