Homeowners in the Belmont Bay subdivision of Woodbridge plan to attend the Prince William County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13 in an attempt to block a proposal to reverse a previously funded plan to bury utility cables in a 1.25 mile section adjacent to the bridge crossing the Occoquan River.

The Route 1 improvement project has been discussed for at least 20 years and the Prince William County Board of Supervisors approved plans to widen and enhance this major artery through a series of funding resolutions. For the final section, from Mary’s Way to the Occoquan Bridge, no funding was originally included for utility cables to be buried despite the fact that all along the remainder of the Route 1 improvement, these would be buried.
