Navigating Your Way from Bolivia to Hampstead: Best Routes & Driving Times

Whether you're headed to a family event, a job interview, or just cruising around in your car, it's essential to know what kind of traffic to expect when you travel. With that in mind, we've put together a guide that highlights the fastest and slowest routes, the distance of those routes, and the estimated driving time for each one.

Best routes for a quick trip

Based on our experience and data, we've found that the quickest way to get from Bolivia to Hampstead is to take US-17 North. From here, you can either take the first exit onto NC-210 East or continue on US-17 to its junction with NC-210 at Surf City before turning left.

The distance between these two locations is about 17 miles, and, in good traffic, you can expect to make your journey in around 25-30 minutes. In comparison, the estimated driving time using the second route to Highway 17 through Half Hell Road is around 35 minutes.

The slowest routes to avoid

If you're looking to avoid traffic snarl-ups, we recommend avoiding US-17 Business Route, which runs through the center of Wilmington. Here, you're bound to run into congestion during peak hours, especially around Hightsville and Hampstead.

Alternatively, you might choose to head out to NC 133 N and cut through Castle Hayne, and then taking the River Road in direction Hampstead over NC 210. But bear in mind that it's a tad longer – at 22 miles – the estimated driving time is around 40-45 minutes.

Traffic pattern tips and updates

We should mention that the estimated time to reach Hampstead from Bolivia during low traffic periods typically takes around 20-25 minutes. Plan for a longer commute time during rush hours or school runs between 7-9 a.m. and 3:30-5:30 p.m. as this can significantly increase your journey time by 10-20 minutes.

With that being said, recent improvements to the infrastructure are transforming the roads around Southeast North Carolina. If you're driving frequently along Highway 17, you might want to keep an eye out for any news updates on traffic patterns, new construction projects, or any special events in the area.

Whether you opt for the faster route or choose to take the scenic road, it's essential to know what kind of traffic conditions to expect when navigating through Brunswick County. With our guide, we hope to have equipped you with the necessary information to make the most informed decision about which route to take. Safe travels!
