Traffic on BW Parkway Thanksgiving morning?

We're flying out of BWI Thanksgiving morning. Our flight is at 10:30 and we live in Alexandria, south of Old Town, so we'll be hopping on 295 up to the parkway and I was wondering if there'll be traffic that early in the morning? I know a lot of people drive on Thanksgiving so I'm just wondering how much time to allow us to get there. I HATE driving up to BWI because traffic is so unpredictable, but it is what it is.

  • I've only driven North once on Thanksgiving morning and it was a little trafficky but not terrible.  I would give yourself some extra time, but it won't be anything like Wednesday evening....
  • I've driven north via 95 several times on Thanksgiving morning, leaving around 6 or 7 am, and it has been a breeze.  Literally no one on the roads.  I made it to North Jersey in under 4 hours from NoVA.  You should be fine.

  • Three years ago, we went home (to north Baltimore) for Thanksgiving on Thursday, and it took us about 2 hours from the Annandale.  However, we took 95 and left around 10 a.m..  We are definitely doing the BW Parkway this time and probably going to leave a bit earlier.

    Give yourself an extra 45 minutes, and pending no accidents, you should be fine.
