It’s called “alternative 2B,” and it’s part of a plan to extend Godwin Drive from near Novant Health/UVA Health System Prince William Medical Center in Manassas east to Route 28. The planned four-lane, a four-mile extension would serve Route 28 bypass would run between Lomond neighborhood and homes in Manassas Park.
The road would cross over Bull Run into Fairfax County and cross a portion Bull Run Regional Park through the hallowed ground, where preservationists say an estimated 151 people died in one of the first engagements of the Civil War.
