There are some decent detours. Old Crain Highway, off Route 4, bypasses this section of 301 and is probably the most logical.
From the Beltway, one could also go around the south side of the park & back up 301 to the park entrance. I don't remember the road names though.

Just consider yourself lucky you are not on US 301 where it passes the Ellerton outlet stores in Florida. That's a mess and guaranteed delay even when there is no construction.
