Alexandria Area Insider TipsThe Inside Scoop From Seasoned I-95 Travelers
Traffic & Timing: Avoid rush hours** (7-9:30 AM, 3:30-7 PM weekdays) at all costs—this stretch is notoriously congested. The "mixing bowl" (I-95/I-495/I-395 interchange) can be confusing; stay in your lane and use GPS. HOV/Express lanes run alongside I-95 but have variable tolling and restrictions—know before you merge.
Enforcement Heads-Up: The State of Virginia has aggressive speed enforcement... don't go more than 9 over. Reckless driving (80+ mph OR 20+ over limit) is a criminal offense in Virginia, not just a ticket. Watch for both state police and local officers.
Practical Stops: If you need gas/food, try Exit 177 (Eisenhower Ave) or Exit 173 (Newington) they have easy-access options. Don't rely on finding rest stops... they're sparse so plan accordingly.
Navigation: Stay alert for I-495/I-95 split north of Alexandria. It's easy to accidentally take the wrong one. Signs can be confusing about whether you're on "I-95" or "I-495" (they overlap here).
