Virginia State Police are gearing up for a statewide enforcement of Interstate highways. They’ll do it, in part, on Saturday from the sky.
The law enforcement agency will conduct its latest Operation Air, Land & Speed traffic safety campaign. On Saturday, they’ll be watching closely drivers on I-95, 81, 85, and 64 for the one-day event. A total of 870 miles of highway will be covered by the stepped-up enforcement.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The idea of a Bi-County Parkway in Prince William and Loudoun counties sits well with 107 businesses and organizations.
They, with the help of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce that has been outspoken in their support of a new highway linking Dumfries to Dulles Airport, sent a letter to state officials stating the roadway will bring improved mobility in an ever-growing region, and help attract high-paying jobs to a tech park in Manassas.
WOODBRIDGE, Va. — It’s no secret that traffic on Interstate 95 is just as worse on weekends as it is during rush hour on weekdays.
That’s why Virginia Megaprojects — the people who are converting the HOV lanes to a hybrid system of HOV and toll lanes from Dumfries to Edsall Road in Alexandria — will fund a new Saturday bus service from Woodbridge to Springfield.

NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — Police will close a portion of Interstate 95 tomorrow morning in North Stafford, to allow a group of motorcycles access to the highway from Va. 610.
More in a press release:
Next weekend, construction crews and the Virginia Department of Transportation will close the majority of the HOV lanes on Interstate 95 and 395.
There will be more closures in the months to come, and transportation officials have provided information about them so you can plan around them.

Update
Amtrak reports all train traffic flowing without delay in the area of the crash.
DALE CITY, Va. –– Virginia State Police were called to the scene of a fuel spill on Interstate 95.
A tractor trailer headed north on I-95 at mile post 155 in Dale City ran off of the highway while attempting to avoid colliding with another car while switching lanes. At 2:10 p.m., the truck hit a Jersey wall and ruptured its right fuel tank, which sent diesel spilling across two of the three northbound travel lanes, said police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.

GAINESVILLE, Va. — Remember a few weeks back when we told you to avoid Gainesville like the plague? Tonight, you’ll want to heed that warning.
Construction crews will close all but one lane in each direction on U.S. 29 and Linton Hall Road. It’s a busy intersection near Interstate 66 that draws not only cars and trucks, but it also has a busy street-level railroad crossing.
