WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A multi-phase effort to widen Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge is complete.
The Prince William County Department of Transportation this month finished work on removing an island in the eastbound lanes of Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road in Woodbridge. With the island gone, drivers headed toward I-95 can make use of all three lanes of the eastbound parkway, which was widened between Minniville and Old Bridge roads last fall.
From Prince William County Transportation Director Rick Canizales:
The Prince William Department of Transportation is happy to have completed the final phase of the Prince William Parkway widening from Old Bridge Road to Minnieville Road. This final phase allows for the all three lanes of the Parkway to continue through the Minnieville intersection, allowing for a free flow movement of all three lanes through the intersection and increasing capacity by 30%. The project eliminated a bottleneck and a through-lane that turned into a right-turn lane at Minnieville. The intersection on the new leg now consists of two left-turn lanes, three through-lanes and a right-turn lane.
This was the third and final phase of widening Prince William Parkway in eastern Prince William County.
Last fall, county leaders celebrated a $15 million project that saw the widening of the parkway between Minnieville and Old Bridge roads. In August 2011, transportation celebrated the completion of a $10.4 million project to widen the portion of the parkway between Hoadly and Old Bridge roads.
Prince William Parkway is six lanes between Route is now six lanes between Interstate 95 and Hoadly Road.
