Manassas

Construction is underway on the new Sudley Road Roundabout at the intersection of Centreville Road, Sudley Road and Prescott Avenue.

The City of Manassas is replacing the existing signalized intersection with a two-lane modern roundabout. The project aims to improve traffic flow, enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, and create an attractive gateway to Historic Downtown Manassas.

“Early this morning, a fire caused catastrophic damage to our building in Culpeper. While the restaurant is a total loss, we are grateful beyond words that no one was injured and that everyone appears to be safe,” Zandra’s owner Miguel Pires said, as the Culpeper Star Exponent reported. “Right now, our focus is on supporting our team members and their families as we work through what comes next. While today is heartbreaking, we are thankful that everyone is safe.”

The second location of Zandra’s Taqueria, a longtime fixture of the downtown Manassas dining scene, was destroyed in the early morning blaze Saturday at 302 E. Davis Street in downtown Culpeper. According to Historic Manassas Inc’s Facebook page, community help is being sought to support the business and its team as they face an uncertain future.

Micron Technology has started manufacturing its 1α (1-alpha) DRAM chip at its Manassas facility, marking a significant milestone for domestic semiconductor production and the local economy.

The announcement, made official by Micron on May 22, 2026, positions the Manassas fab as a key site for the world’s most advanced DDR4 technology. The 1-alpha node is expected to quadruple Micron’s DDR4 wafer supply at the Virginia facility, supporting long-lifecycle memory for critical sectors including automotive, defense and aerospace, industrial, networking, and medical devices.
