Cruisin' from Augusta to Norfolk

Hey, hey friends! Are you planning a road trip soon or just curious about travel distances? Well, if you're ever thinking about traveling from Augusta, Georgia to Norfolk, Virginia, let me break it down for you!

Fastest and Slowest Routes

First up, let's talk about the fastest and slowest routes. The quickest route you can take is via I-85 N and I-95 N, which is approximately 601 miles. It’ll take you around 9 hours, non-stop, without traffic but this is rare considering traffic patterns. When traffic is heavy during the day, it can take you up to 11-12 hours to make this journey. However, if you're in no rush and want to enjoy the scenic view, taking the route via US-301 N and US-13 N is a pretty enjoyable experience but it's the longest route, around 679 miles and it takes 11 hours non-stop but with traffic throw in another 2-3 hours. So, I suggest making a wise decision depending on your trip priorities.

More on the Distance

Now, let's get into the distance of the routes. The fastest route via I-85 N and I-95 N is 601 miles, as mentioned earlier and the slowest route via US-301 N and US-13 N is 679 miles. Keep in mind, if you opt for the I-95 N route, you'll probably run into some toll booths, which you should be prepared for with cash handy.

Traffic Time

Lastly, let me help you out with a peak traffic and low traffic time calculation. If you were to take the quickest route via I-85 N and I-95 N and are planning to leave early morning (~6 a.m), you can hit Norfolk in 8.5-9 hours if you're lucky. However, if you leave during rush hour time (around 8 a.m), you can take a bit more stress out and aim for 10-11 hours. Similarly, the slowest route via US-301 N and US-13 N will take you around 11-12 hours with medium-to-heavy traffic. My suggestion would be to avoid interstates and highways jam-packed with traffic and, if you have the time, take it slow and enjoy the lovely scenery.

So, dear guys, that's all there is to know about the drive to Norfolk from Augusta. I hope this information helps you plan your trip efficiently with transparency. Have a great trip and drive safe. Au revoir!
