How long (guesstimate) would it take to get from VMP to Sheraton Park South Hotel? It's located at 9901 Midlothian Turnpike Richmond, Virginia 23235. It's 8.3 miles from center of Richmond. TIA.

30-40 Minutes All depends on traffic and how fast your willing to drive.

I'd say EvasionOfTruth's estimate is pretty good. 30-40ish

well:

from midlothian tnpk take courthouse road back towards chesterfield. after you cross hull st. intersection, the 3rd stoplight is qualla road, make a right onto qualla. follow qualla to the second stop sign and make a left onto spring run road.

follow spring run until the end and make a right onto beach road. you'll IMMEDIATELY make a left onto bundle road. follow bundle until the fork in the road and stay to the right side of the fork which will still be bundle road. follow bundle to the end and make a left at the stopsign onto river road.

after that, i lose street names , BUT;

follow river until you pass matoaca elementary (~ 5 miles) and make a right just before you get to the exxon station. follow that road to the stoplight. go THROUGH the intersection and save time by cutting through the foodlion parking lot.

you'll come THROUGH the parking lot and make a right onto US RT1/301 south. keep down rt1 maybe 7miles and vmp will be on your right hand side.

knowing where the cops sit is usually helpful, but i've made this trip in approx 25min

radar detectors help out alot too
