Rt.5 between Richmond and Williamsburg is a nice alternative to I64, particularly east of Charles City. Rolled through there around 12:30 on a Saturday and it was very quiet. Speed limit is 55 (45 in spots) and there are some nice turns and plenty of scenery. Lots of sun/shade transitions, but the asphalt is new'ish so nothing to watch for (besides wildlife).
