If Flooding Occurs, Expect Delayed School Buses

Triangle, Va. –– Prince William County Public School officials say two roads in the eastern portion of the county routinely flood out, preventing school buses from picking up students.

Mine Road in Dumfries and Joplin Road at U.S. 1 in Triangle are said to be some of the most problematic roads in county during heavy rain storms.

School transportation officials say they are going to make every effort to get to theses bus stops, but with three inches of rain forecast to fall on the area, it may be slow going for some Thursday and on Friday morning.

Some buses may be late because they were rerouted, and buses on other routes may be delayed because of flooding elsewhere, school officials said.

Rain is forecast to move into the area tonight and dump heavy rain across the region throughout the day Thursday and into Friday.
