Hi, google maps says about 11 miles and 20 minutes required to get from exit 210 off of Interstate 40 down Eastchester--turning into Westchester (think this is 68). Is this realistic?

Trying to reach Floral Garden Memorial Park--around 1600 block on Westchester? What is down this way in terms of restaurants or shopping centers? I can google is part too but wanted recommendations. Mainly I want to understand the drive time/distance, or how congested this is.

20 minutes sounds about right, although it might take less than that if the traffic isn't bad. There are quite a few stop lights, with plenty of restaurants and shopping along that route. You'll find Ruby Tuesday, Carter's BBQ, J. Butler's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Panera Bread, and a number of others, as well as many fast food options.

From what direction are you coming? If you're coming from the west, you can take US 311 from Winston-Salem directly to High Point, so you'll cut out all of the congested area of Hwy 68. This would easily save you 20 minutes, perhaps more.

Thanks for the reply. We're coming south on 68. Meeting people at exit 210 but need to end up in the 1600 block of Westchester. I figured 68 (Eastchester--turning to Westchester) would be a stop & go street. Mid day on a Saturday, is the 20-25 minutes realistic?

^ Yes, I would allow myself 20-25 minutes, but it probably won't take quite that long.

It didn't. It was actually a breeze. Thanks for the input.
