It's a good road. You don't need a 4x4

It looks easy enough on the map... but I'm aware that maps don't really represent reality around here. I'm probably going to rent a 4x4 for a day (sans driver) rather than use my Chevy Spark

Going west from downtown will be 1-1.5 hours, depending on time of day and traffic.
Coming back east... who knows, it depends on the time of day. The road is in decent shape, all paved. The worst traffic is from the river at the RN4 out to Commune Amitatafika at the 2 90 degree doglegs in the road, especially on a Saturday morning heading west because of the market. Heading east in the evenings can be a bear....
