There are five small improvements that can be made to help traffic move faster on Route 28 in Manassas.

These quick, short-term improvements were a result of a study that examined Route 28 from Interstate 66 to Liberia Avenue in Manassas.


The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is continuing work on the $70 million Route 28 widening project this weekend on Friday and Sunday evening.

The work will take place between Aden Road and Battalion Square, according to VDOT, and Route 28 will be closed in both directions as crews work on storm sewer lines.


Virginia Railway Express (VRE) could face fines up to $25,000 a day starting in 2016.

This is one of the consequences that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) could levy against Virginia’s only commuter railroad for not meeting full federal compliance standards with implementation of “positive train control” by the end of 2015, according to VRE spokesman Bryan Jungwirth.
