Roadway crews are pushing forward on the job to widen a portion of Route 1 to six lanes in Woodbridge.
The project is in full swing and signs of construction along Route 1, between Neabsco Mills and Featherstone roads, are everywhere.
Unlike other typical road projects where a road is designed, the right of way for land is purchased, and then construction begins, this one is being done all at once. Relocating utilities and burying them underground, as well as widening the road and paving are all happening on the same schedule.
“With everything going on all at once, the project is a little unusual and a little innovative,” said Prince William County Transportation Department Director Thomas Blaser.
The ramped-up pace of construction will allow crews to deliver the project by the end of the year, said Blaser.
Drivers should expect some land closures as the project continues into summertime. The closures will be during “off peak” hours after 7 p.m. and prior to the morning rush hour.
Route 1 will be six lanes from Neabsco Mills Road to Featherstone Road when the work is complete. It will connect to an already widened bridge over Neabsco Creek in Woodbridge.
A separate project to widen Route 1 from four to six lanes from Mary’s Way to the Occoquan River is also underway.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
