NORTH STAFFORD, Va. –– A better U.S. 1 between Stafford and Prince William counties – they’re studying the possibility.

Federal officials want to hear from the public by Friday on plans to improve the four-lane highway corridor of U.S. 1 between Telegraph Road in Stafford County and Joplin Road in Prince William County. The portion of roadway is highly trafficked by those who work in and around Quantico Marine Corps Base.

There are two separate studies underway in the corridor – one that looks at the whole stretch of road spanning both counties, and another which focuses on U.S. 1 at Telegraph Road, commonly known as Boswell’s Corner.

Officials have made PDFs of presentation documents available for download on their website. After reviewing them, drivers and residents are encouraged to submit their feedback electronically to addresses listed on the site.
