From Virginia State Police:
At 9:07 a.m., Monday (Aug. 15), Virginia State Police responded to a four-vehicle crash in Prince William County. The fatal, chain-reaction crash occurred in the westbound lanes of I-66 at the 41 mile marker.
The Virginia State Corporation could go either way, telling Dominion Virginia Power that a proposed power transmission line along Interstate 66 to serve a new data center in Haymarket could run above ground, or that it could allow the utility to build hybrid option where part of the power line is buried.
The hybrid option is popular with residents who don’t want to see a 230-kilovolt transmission line when they look out their windows and are concerned about what a towering power line could do for property values. Last year at a series of public meetings, Dominion officials said an above-ground line provides more reliable service and costs less to maintain.

Long before European settlers arrived in Northern Virginia Native Americans traveled numerous waterways in the region.
The few paths around the area frequently followed high ridges between the rivers and creeks. In this area, the trail was commonly referred to as The Potomac Path by early provincials in the area, and they were charged by the General Assembly to keep their “highways clear of vegetation. “
