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.

The new gas main should be in place by the end of the month. Here’s more from Columbia Gas spokesman Robert Innes:
Columbia Gas of Virginia is replacing 780′ of 4″plastic gas main on Portner Av between West St and Main St. in collaboration with the City of Manassas new storm and water project. There are four Columbia Gas of Virginia customer service lines in the 9200 and 9300 blocks of Portner Avenue which are involved in this project. Each customer will be notified in advance of the need to transfer the existing service line to the new natural gas main. The customer will be temporarily without service as we complete this work. This transfer should take a couple of hours. When the service line is transferred to the new natural gas main, Columbia Gas technicians will perform a safety check and relight the customer’s natural gas equipment. The project is expected to be completed by the end of August.
