Anyone know how to drive from Pittsburgh to Virginia Beach WITHOUT going thru DC?

Travel Tips
Try this:

I-79 South to US 19 South (WV) to I-64 East to I-295 East (bypass Richmond) to I-64 East to Virginia Beach.

Never see DC. Never see Richmond. Speed Limit is 60 on US 19 portion which is 4 lane divided highway with little or no traffic.

I-81 travels in a SW direction from I-76 in Carlisle, PA. Besides, the proposed route includes no toll roads where the above poster's toll means that you have to pay the PA Turnpike.

Well you can go through West Virgina and cut over into Virgina and catch 95 that way. But you don't go thru DC, you go around it, and if you get there before 2pm you will be fine, just have to watch out for Richmond which is worse than DC.
These are the directions that came up on Mapquest.com
I don't know if it will take you there WITHOUT going through DC, but it is one way to get there.
If you don't like the directions it gives, try narrowing the results by going to mapquest.com and typing in the city names and then it will give you other options.....have a safe trip and I hope this helps ;-)

Take I-76 E to I-81 South to I-64 East

Alternately, you can go south from Pittsburgh through West Virginia and catch I-64 (E) to I-81 (N) to I-64 (E).
I lived in Roanoke, VA and my parents were in Richmond, while my GF lived in Pittsburgh. Now I live in D.C. So I have been all over these routes.
take 76 south to I-64. I-64 goes somewhat northwest to southeast, and goes from Lexington Ky to Richmond Va, and then directly to Va Beach.

and its probably faster btw.
