I-95 and VIRGINIA |
||
| As in North Carolina (and northern South Carolina), I-95 follows the 'Fall Line'* in Virginia. You will also swap the mostly rural areas for urban clutter. At the outskirts of Petersburg (exit 46) you will encounter your first belt highway. I-295, and, yes, we encourage you to take this route around the Richmond megapolis. |
Jamestown-Williams-burg-Norfolk traffic should take I-64 at exit 28. Northbound traffic will rejoin I-95 at exit 43 of I-295. Then there's Fredericksburg and, finally, the Washington-Baltimore megapolis. At exit 170 I-95 joins I-495 cross the Potomac River, enter Maryland and skirt Washington, D.C. contributed by Bob Masters |

| *The 'Fall Line' is a unique geological feature in land areas where rocky terrain having a significant slope meets soft, sandy soil. Over time, rapid flowing rivers (running from the higher elevations over the rocky terrain) wash away the soft sand creating water falls (hence the name Fall Line) and cascades. | In the last century, manufacturing plants were drawn to this Fall Line (which extends from New Jersey to Georgia) to utilize the strong water flow as mechanical energy for their machinery. These same rivers and streams are now used in many places to generate hydroelectric power. | |
