With Interstate 95 and primary roads clear in the Fredericksburg District, crews are concentrating this evening on plowing and treating subdivision streets and low-volume secondary roads.

Conditions on secondary roads in the Fredericksburg area, Northern Neck, and western Middle Peninsula are improving, but motorists should be prepared for areas of trace ice and snow.  

On Saturday, February 7, 2015, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Prince William County Chapter Inc., in collaboration with the Society of Women Engineers hosted a very productive workshop entitled, “Girls Go To Techbridge”.

The purpose of the event was to inspire and expose young girls’ grades sixth through eighth to STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. This was an awesome event for our girls.

Residents in the immediate vicinity of Marine Corps Base Quantico may experience an increase in noise as an affect from ground/aircraft training or range clearance operations during the week of March 7-13 .

Motorists are encouraged to delay travel until later today if possible as Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews work to break up and remove packed down ice and snow from primary roads in the Fredericksburg area and Northern Neck.   

VDOT is using a mix of sand, salt and liquid calcium chloride to combat leftover snow that is frozen to the pavement. Liquid calcium chloride is used to assist with ice melt when temperatures are below 27 degrees.
