WOODBRIDGE — Beginning this month, motorists in the Woodbridge area may start to see the dreaded orange traffic cones slowing things down as construction crews begin to relocate utilities for the widening of Route 1 from Mary’s Way to Featherstone Road.

This 1.3-mile section of Route 1 will go from being a four-lane undivided highway to a six-lane divided highway.  Work will include the construction of a 1 0-foot-wide multi-modal trail and a 5-foot-wide sidewalk along the sides of the route.


PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — It’s a story that might have come from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, of trees that observed momentous events of history. But instead of Ents, they are “Witness Trees.”

Though they can’t speak, they tell a story. What was originally a surveyor’s mark to designate property lines, Witness Trees have morphed into observers of important historical events.
