I used to live right at Tysons Corner and drive to 585 North Glebe road in Arlington to work at the Benz dealer there. I found route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) at 35 MPH to be the best choice. The lights were timed perfectly if you averaged the speed limit and on many days the Interstate traffic (66?)was a parking lot or crawling along. Not sure of the time when you make your commute, but I wonder if US 1 would not be better than I 95, which can get real disgusting real fast.
That being said the HOV lanes are being reworked as well as the merge point where they end.
Sometimes when I left the Chantilly area on Friday nights I would just stay on Route 28 until it merged with 17, then head east to Fredericksburg. When I got to the Interstate and it was still crawling south over 30 miles wouth of DC. I just got on 1 the went through Fredericksburg (downtown) and took Route 17 down to my home near Yorktown.
