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.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Work to widen and extend Rollins Ford Road is progressing.
STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Plans for a Fredericksburg bypass show drivers would be able to exit Interstate 95 in Stafford County, cross the Rappahannock River, and end up in Orange County.
Once off I-95, drivers would connect with the new bypass via U.S. 17 near the Celebrate Virginia complex in Stafford County, head south on a planned Berea Parkway, cross the Rappahannock into the Culpeper County, and then exit the bypass at a terminus near Va. 20 in Orange County.
DUMFRIES, Va. — Dumfries officials want U.S. 1 — the heavily used 4-lane highway that bisects the town — to run on the straight and narrow.
A plan, long on the books to be completed by 2030, would widen U.S. 1 to six lanes so the north and south portions of the highway would run on the same span on Fraley Blvd. where the U.S. 1 north traffic runs now. It also means Main Street in front of Town Hall would no longer carry U.S. 1 south traffic.
