DUMFRIES — Of the five road projects, totaling $355 million, that voters will have a say on this fall, the Van Buren Road extension wasn’t one of them.
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors in June axed the $70 million project, which would have extended Van Buren from its intersection with Route 234 near Dumfries, to Cardinal Drive.
MANASSAS — She campaigned on removing traffic lights from Route 28 in Prince William County, the most congested road in Northern Virginia.
Flanked by area politicians Virginia State Senator Jeremy McPike, and Manassas Park Mayor Jeanette Rishell, Roem announced a new study that will look into how to remove those stoplights.
Here are some road work zones to watch out for this week.
From the Virginia Department of Transportation:
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — Route 234 Business (Sudley Road) will be closed in both directions at I-66 nightly between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. beginning Aug. 14 into the following week.
During this time, construction crews can lift bridge beams into place for the new Sudley Road access road along westbound I-66.
FREDERICKSBURG — Drivers may encounter daytime delays next week on Truslow Road between Berea Church Road and Poplar Road in Stafford County.
During this time, a spot safety improvement project will be taking place.
FAUQUIER COUNTY — A Manassas man was killed in a crash in Fauquier County.
From Virginia State Police:
FREDERICKSBURG — (Press Release) The public is invited to attend a public hearing next week to learn more about a project to build additional Interstate 95 northbound lanes parallel to the I-95 northbound general-purpose lanes in the Fredericksburg area.
A design public hearing will be held:
DALE CITY – (Press Release) Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) structure and bridge crews are on schedule towards completion on work to replace a large stormwater pipe on Princedale Drive that failed after heavy rains on July 4, causing a sinkhole.
The road is expected to reopen to traffic between Saddler Lane and Roundtree Drive in about two weeks, weather permitting.
STAFFORD — The rural roads of Stafford are failing to support the county’s continued urban development, and residents are speaking out.
Many in recent months have pressed elected members of the Stafford Board of Supervisors, demanding for action on a variety of transportation issues. All have expressed common frustrations about the time it takes the Virginia Department of Transportation to safety concerns.
STAFFORD — A crash on Interstate 95 on Wednesday morning forced crews to inspect a highway overpass in Stafford County.
A portion of Truslow Road that crosses the interstate highway via the American Legion Road Bridge was closed to traffic for about two hours.
