Pueraria Montana, also known as Kudzu, is an extremely fast growing vine that can grow as much as 60 feet in one season.
I stopped to take a picture of a huge growth of these vines along Austin Run Boulevard in Stafford and a man stopped and asked me, “Why take pictures of that stuff, it grows all over here?”

GAINESVILLE, Va. — What do you get when you mix a major construction project and Jimmy Buffet? On the weekend of August 16 through 18, it’s a recipe for road delays.
Virginia Department of Transportation officials working to improve the intersection at U.S. 29 and Linton Hall Road, where a series new bridges will carry traffic on Linton Hall Road over U.S. 29 and a railroad, told drivers Wednesday to soon expect major delays in the area.
Virginia Transportation officials announced upcoming changes to the HOV lanes on Interstate 95.
Starting Aug. 5, they’ll close to northbound drivers an hour earlier in the mornings and open to southbound drivers one hour earlier each weekday.

He’s been made some changes.

The first layers of new pavement for the 95 Express Lanes Project are on the ground. And with them comes a mean season for summer drivers.
New asphalt lies in the median of Interstate 95 at Quantico and in northern Stafford County, where there once was no road. It’s part of what will be 29 miles of new highway, or the tolled 95 Express Lanes, that when complete in late 2014, will seamlessly connect with similar lanes on the Capital Beltway from Springfield to Dulles Toll Road.

NORTH STAFFORD, Va — Above the doorway of a now shuttered restaurant, theres a sure-sign that a new restaurant is coming to take its place.
Ricky’s Chicken will open a new location in a retail complex along U.S. 1 in North Stafford, near Boswell’s Corner. It will replace the now closed Habanero’s restaurant. Dubbed “Ricky’s Chicken II,” it will be the second restaurant to open under the name.
