I am planning on living in Richmond VA, about 1 hr 45 min drive from DCA. I am realizing with traffic and parking I am cutting it close. Will I have enough time to wait for the call at home and make it to work on time?
Do not plan on this working out. I95 between Richmond and DC can turn into a parking lot at any time for many reasons. At certain times of the day on most days not a problem. If you get a call at 6am and need to be in DCA at 8am you have no chance. I95 is bumper to bumper dead stop most mornings from 5:45 am until 9:30 or so from Fredericksburg all the way to DC. It is only 1:45 in the middle of the night with no traffic. I don't want to bust your bubble but I live in Richmond and do this trip often.
