Authorities closed the northbound I-95 E-ZPass Express Lanes on Friday after a crash.
From Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller:
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.

From an email:
FOX 5’s “Zip Trip” is coming to Stafford this Friday, June, 30th. During our annual summer Zip Trip series, the Good Day DC team gets out of the studio and broadcasts an entire episode from a different location in the FOX 5 viewing area each Friday. Our goal is to showcase local restaurants, schools, and businesses, and we have lots of activities for members of the local community who come out to watch the broadcast.
