MANASSAS, Va. — A leisurely stroll on horseback turned dangerous for two horseback riders at Manassas Battlefield National Park.
The two riders about noon on Sunday were crossing busy U.S. 29 that runs through the park at a designated horse crossing. The approaching cars stopped and allowed the two riders to pass.
Next weekend, construction crews and the Virginia Department of Transportation will close the majority of the HOV lanes on Interstate 95 and 395.
There will be more closures in the months to come, and transportation officials have provided information about them so you can plan around them.
