DUMFRIES, Va. -- Dumfries officials want U.S. 1 -- the heavily used 4-lane highway that bisects the town -- to run on the straight and narrow.
A plan, long on the books to be completed by 2030, would widen U.S. 1 to six lanes so the north and south portions of the highway would run on the same span on Fraley Blvd. where the U.S. 1 north traffic runs now. It also means Main Street in front of Town Hall would no longer carry U.S. 1 south traffic.
The 1.5 mile widening project, from Brady’s Hill Road (where U.S 1 has already been widened to six lanes) to the intersection of Va. 234 near the Potomac Shores neighborhood in Prince William County currently under construction -- will cost $60 million, and Virginia transportation officials say there’s already $2.2 million of that ready to go to start work.
