From Virginia Railway Express:
Beginning August 8th, the concrete pad on the west side of the station (Track 3), will be demolished. As a result, all trains can only use the east side platform closest to the station building (Track 2) and will be single tracking north and south of station which may lead to delays. We will work with all stakeholders involved to minimize any delays that do occur. The anticipated completion date of this phase is August 13th.
It looks like a new restaurant, The Guac Korean-Mexican Grill will open in The Town of Quantico.
The restaurant will replace the Quantico Trading Company coffee shop that YELP notes is permanently closed. Just last year, the shop had planned on expanding its menu.
