Construction crews are about to remove a sharp curve in Old Bridge Road, a vital link to Interstate 95.

The curve is at Occoquan Road, and it’s one of the sharpest turns on any six-lane street in the region. The $11.5 million project will realign the highway south of Occoquan Road. Transportation officials hope the improvements work to ease traffic congestion that forms in the street’s elbow, which backs up to Route 123 at Interstate 95.

Tennis season is about to begin in Prince William County. But that’s small comfort for players at Forest Park High School near Dumfries.

The school’s tennis courts have fallen into disrepair over the years since they were resurfaced in 2009. Large cracks have formed on the surface, increasing the potential for falls and injuries to feet, ankles, and legs. It can also cause balls to awkwardly bounce off the cracks, interfering with play.
