My memory of that route is fuzzy, but IIRC, the one of the major freeways does go through at least two major cities -- Baltimore, Maryland and Fredricksburg, Virginia (the capital of Virginia). They might prove interesting to thru-traffic.
Did Fredricksburg become the capital after TDM?

Overland from Newport news is up interstate 64 to Richmond then 95 to Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Lots of radiation in northern Virginia.

As mentioned, up Chesapeake Bay to Baltimore and Maryland, and then overland to New Jersey.

All sea route is out the bay, up the eastern shore on the ocean side up to NJ.

Fredricksburg has always been the capital of Virginia.

Richmond has been the capital of Virginia since its founding I believe.

Oh here is a map of the canon strikes along the corridor.

Richmond is certainly the capital of Virginia now but apparently Williamsburg was the colonial capital from 1699 to 1780. According to Wikipedia "During the [American Revolutionary] war, the capital was moved to Richmond at the urging of Governor Thomas Jefferson, who feared that Williamsburg's location would make it vulnerable to British attack".

I really should have paid more attention to the geography when I was working in PA back in '99....


Thanks for the info/advice folks. Another quick question - in a T2K environment, what sort of time frame would people envision to make the journey to NYC from Norfolk? I know there are loads of variables, but just a rough ball park figure would be great.

It's 6-8 hours by road to NYC from Hampton Roads non T2K environment.

That's with good roads and intact BRIDGES and tunnels.

If they're humping it, it might be easier, as rivers can be crossed by a local boat or if they pack a raft.

If they have non amphib vehicles, they'll have to find intact bridges, ferrys or fords to cross water obstacles
