Dudenhefer Makes Case for Wider U.S. 1 to Featherstone

WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- A local State Delegate has made his case to sufficiently fund the widening of a portion U.S. 1 in Woodbridge.

Mark Dudenhefer, R-Stafford, Woodbridge, penned a letter to Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean T. Connaughton to provide “sufficient funding” for widening the major thoroughfare from Featherstone Road to Mary’s Way, from a four-lane to a six-lane road. Prince William County transportation officials estimate that project will cost $53 million.

Another project, the effort to widen U.S. 1 between Mary’s Way and the Occoquan River to six lanes has already been greenlit by the state. And, widening at U.S. 1 to Featherstone Road is already on a list of preferred projects by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, a group of elected officials that will decide where to place some $190 million of new transportation revenues generated by higher sales taxes starting July 1 as part of the Virginia’s transportation reform passed in February.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
