From Virginia Department of Transportation:
Traffic
Two incidents snarled commuters on Yates Ford Road this morning.
The first was a crash at Esther Court.
Authorities report a HAZMAT situation on Pageland Lane this morning Gainesville is now in VDOT’s hands.
Emergency crews relinquished control of the HAZMAT scene to the state transportation agency.
A report on the crowded parking conditions will be given to the Occoquan Town Council Tuesday night.
The study does not recommend the town build a parking garage.
From Virginia Railway Express:
“The Manassas station parking garage will be closed this Saturday and Sunday, October 21 and 22, for striping work. Towing will be enforced.”

In advance of our upcoming Occoquan District Congestion Think Tank for Davis Ford and Yates Ford Road at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19 (you should come), here’s an idea to help traffic flow along the popular two-lane commuter route that links Prince William and Fairfax counties.
From Mark Scheufler/@FixRoute28
Rehabilitation of the nearly 50-year-old Old Centreville Road bridge over Bull Run has been completed, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Construction began in January, with bridge traffic reduced from two lanes to one. Traffic was controlled via temporary traffic signals, which allowed the project to be completed more quickly. The bridge reopened to two lanes in late August.
A series of public meetings will be held to discuss options for high-speed rail in Northern Virginia.
Located on the existing rail corridor that runs along the Potomac River in Prince William and Stafford counties, the “DC to Richmond Southeast High-Speed Rail,” or DC2RVA, service would add a third track along the corridor to improve passenger, commuter, and freight rail.
‘It is getting worse every day.’ We’re holding traffic think tank on Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads
Prince William County Occoquan District Supervisor Ruth Anderson, her team, and Potomac Local will hold an Occoquan District Traffic Think Tank on Thursday, Oct. 19 at Buckhall Volunteer Fire Department Station at 7190 Yates Ford Road.
Davis Ford and Yates Ford roads are two very busy thoroughfares commuters from Prince William County use to get to Fairfax County.
From a press release:
OmniRide passengers should anticipate significant delays this evening due to the grand opening of The Wharf, which is expected to bring 20,000 people to Southeast D.C., and Game 5 of the baseball playoffs at Nationals Park.
