Manassas police need some extra help this 4th of July.

The department asked Virginia State Police for up to three officers to assist local police with traffic control for the city’s “Celebrate America” event on Tuesday. The outside help is needed as the city’s department is short staffed.


It’s common knowledge that traffic on Interstate 95 north is slow in the mornings as commuters head to work in Washington, D.C. In the afternoons, traffic on the interstate slows again as workers head south for home.

In the past month, however, that rule of the road has been tested. OmniRide commuter buses from Prince William County headed north on I-95 were delayed at least 12 times between May 25 and June 23.
