From Richmond to DC can suck big nastiness. Stop and go like crazy. Agree, go around Richmond. I have been stuck in the DC approach a few times. Navigation ended up taking me off and on 95 several times in VA.

Depending what time of day you are coming into DC, from 295 out of Richmond I would jump onto 301 and then cross back over once into Charles Co MD and head to DC by Indian Head Highway. It's less traffic on that part of 301 and takes you into DC against traffic depending on the time of day.
I live in NC. and Daughter and family is in Palm Beach Gardens---Sister in law and friends in Palm Bay, Fl---Father in Jacksonville and Bike week is Daytona. I make a trip to Richmond 2 times a year--every year. I ride it a lot! The absolute worst part is between the Ga/SC line and Florence, SC. If a dog is squatting on the side of the road you can creep at 10-25 mph for a half hour and if there is an actual accident-------Well, You can fill in the blanks from there. Personally, I would do the 1-75 thru Ga then 77 (I think) going north. A lot less stressful--JMHO of course.
