What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive rather than a high-speed interstate cruise, as this route involves zero highway miles. You will navigate through city streets, primarily utilizing Franklin Street, Navigation Boulevard, and Harrisburg Boulevard to reach your destination.

Stay alert behind the wheel, as the nature of these surface streets requires frequent attention to turns and neighborhood traffic patterns. It is an urban transit experience that keeps you engaged with the local infrastructure rather than zoning out on a long, monotonous stretch of pavement.
73% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
