Lori Viera bought her dream home just off Davis Ford Road two years ago.
She and her family pulled up roots from Springfield in Fairfax County and now call Prince William County their home.
Traffic
Residents gathered on Thursday, Oct. 19 to discuss traffic congestion in the Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads corridor.
Near the start of the discussion, hopes for a new bridge across the Occoquan River to link Prince William and Fairfax counties, to provide relief along the popular two-lane road commuter route that is Yates Ford Road, isn’t going to happen.
This Halloween won’t be so scary for drivers on Interstate 95 in Stafford County when traffic relief comes in the form of a new lane.
From VDOT:
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.
We’re taking some of the questions that we didn’t have time to address at the Davis Ford and Yates Ford Traffic Think Tank on Oct. 19, and we’re getting answers.
Today’s question:
As we promised those who attended our Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads Traffic Think Tank, here is the survey where you can give us your opinions on traffic conditions on those roads.
This week, we’ll post some of the questions and answers that we didn’t have time to address at Thursday night’s meeting, like this one.

Thanks for coming to our Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads Think Tank.
We had more than 60 people come to Simmons Hall at Buckhall Volunteer Fire Station to exchange ideas, and to hear from public officials about improvements that could be made to Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads — a major commuter route between Fairfax and Prince William counties.
