FALMOUTH, Va. – A hole opened up in eastbound lane of the Chatham Bridge on Saturday, but Virginia Department of Transportation Officials say everything is fine now.


QUANTICO, Va. — The two-lane bridge that carries traffic to and from U.S. 1 to Quanitco Marine Corps Base via Telegraph Road will close for nine months starting March 27.

Here’s more information in a press release about the upcoming closure, which is part of the 95 Express Lanes Project:


PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The Marine Corp’s 17.75 K run will be held Saturday in the Dumfries and Quantico areas, and traffic officials warn your drive may be impacted.

Lane closures for the event will begin at 5 a.m. as the right and center lanes of Va. 234 between Waterway Drive and Van Buren Road will close. The race starts at 7 a.m. at the intersection of Van Buren Road and Va. 234, near the Holiday Inn Quantico Center, said Virginia Department of Transportation spokesman Art Klos. The race will then head into Prince William Forest Park.


WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Transportation officials say they will work to improve your commute on the main lanes of Interstate 95 in Prince William County.

This work will be separate from the ongoing project to convert HOV lanes into toll lanes between Dumfries and Edsall Road in Alexandria.


STAFFORD, Va. — At a meeting that drew just three participants concerned about the future of Virginia’s only commuter railroad, higher fares, wifi, and trains packed with riders were top of mind issues.

Virginia Railway Express held the public meeting in advance of a proposed 4% fare hike that could take effect July 1. With it, the cost of single ride tickets and monthly passes would go up.
