It’s the most wonderful time of the year: back to school!

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.

Shooting Investigation – On August 7 at 2:49PM, officers responded to the 12700 block of Marblestone Dr in Woodbridge (22192) to investigate a shooting. Multiple citizens reported to police they heard gunshots in the area, followed by two unknown men leaving in a vehicle. A short time later, a 21-year old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the lower body responded to an area hospital and was treated for non-life threatening injuries. At this point, this incident does not appear to be random. The investigation continues.
