WOODBRIDGE — The effort to spend nearly $1 million to dredge a recreational waterway in Woodbridge will move forward.

Prince William County leaders approved $750,000 in contingency funds to dredge the entrance to Neabsco Creek after the U.S. Coast Guard removed the navigational channel markers boaters used to enter the creek.
