Virginia State Police on Sunday escorted marchers participating in the NAACP “America’s Journey for Justice” rally.
About 20 marchers were spotted walking along Route 1 in Woodbridge just before 5 p.m. Sunday. State troopers escorted the marchers, and traffic became congested, according to a Potomac Local reader who submitted the photo for this post.
As construction at the intersection of Route 1, Route 17 Business and Route 218 in Falmouth draws to a close, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will begin overnight paving work.
According to VDOT, milling paving and line stripping work will begin tomorrow night, and run through September 30.
Several southbound lanes on Dumfries Road (Rt. 234) near Village Parkway are currently blocked, following an accident.
According to Prince William police, a vehicle struck a light pole, and the pole fell, blocking the roadway.
Stafford County will consider burying power lines as part of its Route 1 improvement project.
The $11.2 million project will widen, and add turn lanes to Route 1 between Courthouse and Bells Hill roads in Stafford. Work on the project would begin in 2018 and be finished a year later.
Look out for some changes to the 95 Express Lanes for Labor Day weekend.
The lane reversal schedule for the weekend is available online.
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) traffic will be stopped overnight during certain times.
VDOT is currently working on a new overpass for Fall Hill Avenue, so traffic will be stopped so that concrete beams can be lifted over travel lanes.

Several OmniLink bus stops in Manassas Park will be missed as road crews pave Manassas Drive.
A small concrete island blocking the flow of three travel lanes on Prince William Parkway will be moved.
With nothing more than a crosswalk signal on it today, the concrete island stands in the way of drivers and Prince William County transportation planners who would prefer to have three continuous travel lanes on eastbound Prince William Parkway at Minnieville Road in Woodbridge.
According to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), between 12 a.m. and 3 a.m. traffic will be stopped near the Fall Hill Avenue overpass, so that crews can lift beams.
