Manassas Park sees a new library, and now a new parking garage for the city’s envisioned downtown development.
A new garage would provide at least 500 more parking spaces needed at the Manassas Park VRE station. The new spaces would be in addition to the 600 spaces already in use at the station on weekdays.
When drivers head out on Manassas streets might want to take it slower, and be extra cautious.
The number of traffic crashes is at a five-year high in the city. When comparing 2019 to the previous year, the number of crashes rose 7%, from 648 in 2018 to 648, respectively.
Crews are putting the finishing touches today on a stormwater pipe replacement near Manassas Park.
A section of the new pipe is being installed along Old Centreville Road between Spruce Street Rugby Road. For the past few days, the Virginia Department of Transportation has had temporary closures in place during the road work.
Virginia State Police tell us it is investigating a two-vehicle crash near Gainesville in Prince.

Now there’s a way to use the tolled lanes on Virginia’s highways without having to use an E-ZPass.
A new app that can be downloaded to your cell phone will allow you to register your license plate, and then pay to use toll lanes like the E-ZPass Express Lanes on Interstate 95, 395, and 495. An E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex transponder is not required.
Traffic flowing freely again at a busy intersection outside Fredericksburg.
Work to improve the Route 3 Business (Kings Highway) and Route 606 (Ferry Road) intersection in Stafford County is complete, with all new and extended turn lanes open to traffic.

The Rappahannock River near Interstate 95 is open to boaters once again — at least for now.
The river channel that passes underneath the Rappahannock Falls Bridge that carries I-95 traffic over the waterway has is now open for recreational traffic. Prior today, boaters had to use a portage that was put into place in December 2019 to get to the water.
One of four bridges that carry drivers on Interstate 95 over Route 17 near Falmouth is too low.
There are signs all over the intersection in Stafford County waring trucks that are too tall to go under the bridge to take another route. In fact, if a truck that’s too tall approaches the bridge a blaring alarm rings out in an effort to warn the driver. It can be an unsettling sound if you’re driving by when this happens.
Traffic is moving again on Prince William Street in Manassas.
The project that began in late 2018, to widen the two-lane street, install new curb and gutter along the street to handle stormwater, and to add new bike lanes and a new sidewalk is finally complete.
