Traffic will be detoured via Fitzwater Drive, Kettle Run Road and Vint Hill Road.

The storm sewer line installation is part of Prince William County’s $69.9 million Route 28 widening project. Phase One, which involves relocating Vint Hill Road to Route 28’s intersection with Infantry Lane and widening Route 28 to six lanes between Linton Hall Road and the relocated Vint Hill Road, is scheduled for completion in July 2016. Construction of Phase Two, which involves widening Route 28 to four lanes between the relocated Vint Hill Road and Fitzwater Drive, is scheduled to begin in March 2016 and has an estimated completion date of December 2017.


Press Release

Road work at the Pentagon Transit Center is expected to cause delays for all OmniRide services starting the week of June 15. OmniRide buses will serve the same Pentagon bus bays that are served today; however detours when traveling to and from the bays are expected to cause delays.

Because many OmniRide buses make double trips – serving a trip early during the rush hour and a second trip later during that same rush hour – all OmniRide passengers, even those who are not on buses that serve the Pentagon, may be impacted by the road work.


Press Release

The annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics will be held on Thursday June 11.  Part of the routing calls for runners to carry the torch down Route 1 in Prince William County, which will cause rolling road closures.  Runners are expected to start in Arlington in the morning and to reach the Prince William County line at about 2:30 p.m. and to reach Quantico at about 4 p.m.

Passengers on early afternoon Prince William Metro Direct buses and OmniLink routes serving Woodbridge/Lake Ridge, Dumfries and Route 1 should expect delays.

While there were distinguished honorees and guests at the event, the focus was on families in Saturday’s Family Value Award Ceremony in Centreville.

More than 400 attendees paid tribute to several local leaders. The Centreville Virginia Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regularly honors citizens and leaders in the community and government who work to protect and preserve the high place of the family in society.


Opinion

I decided to serve the people of Prince William and Stafford counties in the Virginia House of Delegates because I wanted to be proactive instead of reactive. I watched time and time again as we attempted to “fix” things by enacting policies that spoke to the symptom of the problem as opposed to the problem itself.  Now, I am running to serve in the Virginia State Senate because there is too much at stake. The quality of education, the future of small business, equitable policies and practices for women, real solutions to transportation issues and the possibility of Medicaid expansion are all on the line.

We can no longer afford to sit back and wait. We can no longer afford a delay in progress. We can no longer afford to send elected officials to Richmond who are more interested in playing partisan politics than identifying practical solutions because that is not what Virginia needs.  Virginia needs elected officials like me who are willing to have the hard conversations and go to bat for issues that matter – like Medicaid expansion.
