My parents are currently visiting me in charlotte, but their headed out to New Bern tomorrow morning for vacation. I was trying to map out a route for them.

Both Mapquest and Google Maps have a crazy route that takes them thru Grrensboro and Raleigh. They're both saying it'll take 5-6 hours to get there!! Is there a more direct route they can take?

thanks

They can save a little time via Fayettville if they dont mind some 2 lanes.

 

There are more direct routes, but they are not as straight forward, and not too much faster. On Mapquest, use the advanced option on Mapquest to avoid highways and you'll get a route that goes across southern NC.

 

Sorry for getting to this late...hope your parents enjoy(ed) their trip.
