Driving from Alexandria: What to Know

Alexandria sits in Virginia, in the Mid-Atlantic, and most trips out of town start on the local highway network before joining the interstate system. Fill up before you leave — fuel is usually cheaper in town than at highway service plazas — and check conditions before longer drives, since weather in the Mid-Atlantic can change travel times considerably. The main corridor for trips listed on this page is I-95, so check for construction or closures on that route before setting out.

All drive times on this page assume normal conditions. Gas cost estimates use a 30 MPG vehicle at current average fuel prices — a hybrid or EV can cut that cost roughly in half, and you can compare electric options on our EV trip pages.
