Fredericksburg to Durham Safest Route
My parents are traveling from Fredericksburg, Virginia to Durham, North Carolina.
Dad is getting older and doesn't do great with mountain driving (steep grades or high roads with guard rails).
He's comfortable on I-95 as that is what he takes to Florida.
The quickest route according to Google is I-95 South to Petersburg then I-85 to Durham.
The longer route is I-95 South to Route 64 through Raleigh.
Travel would be on Saturday and it will be raining for part if not all the route.
Opinions and suggestions appreciated.

Welcome, JW150. The shorter route would be my suggestion unless there is some traffic problem. A friend of mine and I drove to the Raleigh-Durham area some years ago, and I don't remember any hilly roads. Avoid rush hour if possible.
