Editors note: This story was prompted by a news tip emailed to us by a reader: “Sharing something I came across.  Very disappointing!  According to VDOT the Route 1 widening is a year behind schedule.  It was originally due to be completed the fall of 2019 and it’s now showing a completion date in Fall of 2020.  Hoping you can check into why. 

The completion date for the project to widen Route 1 between Mary’s Way and the Occoquan River has, indeed, been delayed until fall 2020. It had been set for this year.
