We’re getting answers to some of the questions that we didn’t have time to ask at our Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads Traffic Think Tank on Oct. 19.
Today’s question:

Following the election, Hugo said he would work with state lawmakers to draft legislation that would not only force Dominion Energy to bury a 230kv, five-mile-long power line to a new data center in Haymarket, but also bury lines where the prospect of overhead powerlines threatens property values elsewhere in the state.
Commuters on Virginia Railway Express had to contend with long delays on Friday.
A portion of the track just south of Long Bridge across the Potomac River in Arlington caught fire, leaving passengers stranded for hours.
