New York - New Jersey - Pennsylvania - Maryland - Virginia

Driving US 1 through New York City won’t take much of
your gas, but it might take a great deal of time in
the City’s stop and go traffic.

You will only be in New York for about twenty miles;
as soon as you cross the Hudson River on the George
Washington Bridge, you are in New Jersey.

You should have spectacular views of New York City
from the George Washington Bridge as well as from Fort
Lee, New Jersey.

US 1 joins US 9 in Ft. Lee through Newark and
Elizabeth, before separating in Iselin, where US 1
goes straight south, and inland, to New Brunswick and
down to Trenton. After crossing the Pennsylvania
River, you are in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.

US 1 continues south through many miles of
Pennsylvania to Maryland, bypassing Delaware by only a
few miles. US Route 1 goes right through Baltimore and
leads right into Washington D.C., very close to the
Capital Building.

If you don’t like interstate driving, this would be a
good alternative to get into the City. As you cross
the Potomac River in Washington, you will come into
Arlington, Virginia.

Staying parallel to I-95, US Route 1 will take you
through Fredericksburg and Richmond, before splitting
off to parallel I-85 in Petersburg to the border of
North Carolina.

If you’d like to take a spectacular side trip, take
I-64 from Richmond out to Norfolk and Newport News.
Virginia Beach offers spectacular beaches and the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge can be exciting for its length
and that there is a tunnel as well as a bridge.
