Not sure if this will be an improvement over outer routes, but did this
(42nd street to terminal) in 20 minutes during rush hour the other day.

River to 42nd Street (just before Wisconsin) 6 blocks then right on
Nebraska
Nebraska past AU (careful at the Ward Circle) left on Foxhall Road
Left on Canal Road 
Right on Key Bridge

[I am a little vague on the route numbers for the VA side but you can
follow the signage]

On Virginia side go 1 block then 1st left feeding onto hwy (29? look for
sign for Pentagon))
First exit right route 110 (sign for airport)
After Pentagon exit right onto Jeff Davis Hwy
Look for Airport overpass (exit right)

Good luck

Jim
