How bad will I-95 traffic around Fredericksburg be on Black Friday?
I'll be traveling from Richmond to DC and back on the day after Thanksgiving and I'm concerned the traffic around Fredericksburg (and all the malls/outlets) will be terrible. Is that exactly what I should expect? Would it be worth taking an alternate route (like 301) to avoid it altogether or would that burn up as much time as being in the traffic?

Echoing COD. Route 3 will be god-awful, sure, but 95 shouldn't be much worse than normal. Save your fear for all of the territory between Potomac Mills and Tysons Corner.

Agreed. If you decide to take 301, Waldorf will be the bottleneck, which you can avoid by cutting West to Indian Head Highway and taking that to the Beltway.
