MANASSAS PARK, Va. — Drivers who use Va. 28 in Manassas Park and Prince William County could soon see a reversible lane to help ease traffic congestion.

The $4.8 million project would see the addition of a new lane from Manassas Drive to the Bull Run River at the Fairfax County line. The lane would carry drivers headed north from Prince William into Fairfax County in the mornings and south back into Prince William and Manassas Park in the evenings.

An official said the shots fired could have come from someone hunting in nearby woods, and callers reporting hearing shots fired can be commonplace.
