Woodbridge paving projects ongoing through Thursday

From the Virginia Department of Transportation: 

Lane closures for milling and paving will occur nightly on part of Shoppers Best Way from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday, August 23 through Thursday, August 25, and on portions of Featherstone Road and Blackburn Road from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday, August 28 through Thursday, September 1, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Shoppers Best Way will be paved between Prince William Parkway and Potomac Mills Circle, Featherstone Road will be paved between Blackburn Road and the railroad crossing, and Blackburn Road will be paved between Featherstone Road and Wentwood Lane.

Motorists can expect delays and are advised to use alternate routes.

Some of this work will occur close to residential areas, with the potential for loud noise. VDOT appreciates residents’ patience as we work to complete this needed work on busy roads at night.

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.”
