DALE CITY, Va. — Chunks of asphalt, rocks, mud, and other debris were left behind after a geyser erupted on Catalpa Court in Dale City.

A water main break Sunday night on the neighborhood street in the Catbrier Heights section near Dale City Volunteer Fire Department Station 10 on Dale Boulevard left at least 50 townhomes without water.


The HOV lanes on Interstate 95 and 395 will be close tonight and remain closed through this weekend for paving.

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. — Construction ongoing at a new neighborhood next to Colonial Forge High School will cause delays for drivers this week.

Expect more lane closures this week on Interstate 95 north as part of the 95 Express Lanes Project.

Here’s the latest in a press release from the Virginia Department of Transportation:


WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Virginia’s transportation chief is ready to move forward with passenger ferry service from Woodbridge to Washington, D.C.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean Connaughton accomplished two things today.

GAINESVILLE, Va. — What do you get when you mix a major construction project and Jimmy Buffet? On the weekend of August 16 through 18, it’s a recipe for road delays.

Virginia Department of Transportation officials working to improve the intersection at U.S. 29 and Linton Hall Road, where a series new bridges will carry traffic on Linton Hall Road over U.S. 29 and a railroad, told drivers Wednesday to soon expect major delays in the area.

The first layers of new pavement for the 95 Express Lanes Project are on the ground. And with them comes a mean season for summer drivers.

New asphalt lies in the median of Interstate 95 at Quantico and in northern Stafford County, where there once was no road. It’s part of what will be 29 miles of new highway, or the tolled 95 Express Lanes, that when complete in late 2014, will seamlessly connect with similar lanes on the Capital Beltway from Springfield to Dulles Toll Road.
