Why not 60?
There is no choice of 64 for the first 15 miles of the trip (meaning I am always stuck with the tunnel). After that, you are right, I could have jumped to rt 60.... I think it goes all the way to rt 5. The problem is that 60 is so slow with so many traffic lights, it would take an eternity to get to 5. Taking 5 [instead of 64 the whole way] makes the 1.5 hour trip into a 2.25 hour trip (which is very much worth it, because 5 is wonderful), adding rt 60 might make it 3 hours.
As for the accidents. I checked Google Maps before I left and nothing. By the time I could have taken action and jumped to 60, it was too late (tried that once, what a mess). The only exit available was tied up for at least an hour.
10 and 460 are the only other routes. Both require a long drive around the "outer loop" to reach. 460 is boring and covered with local cops. 10 is nice though, typically have to cross the James and get back onto 5. Both add another hour to the trip, I think.
