Neighbors vs. Noise and Pollution: A Win!

Collective advocacy from our neighborhood scored a victory against toxic air pollution and loud noises from an idling train. But we must remain vigilant. In late April of 2025, a maintenance rail-grinding engine idled almost continuously for a few days along the CSX spur track segment between Luzerne Ave. and Talbot Ave. near the Talbot Avenue Bridge. This past June, the maintenance engine returned for about three days, bringing with it more loud engine noises and the heavy smell of diesel fumes, which forced many residents to stay inside, close their windows, and keep their kids indoors to avoid direct exposure to the noise and fumes. Longtime neighbors have noted that these are not isolated occurrences; this happens multiple times a year, every year.

VDOT studying around-the-clock, two-way Express Lanes on I-95

The Virginia Department of Transportation is exploring adding bi-directional, around-the-clock express lanes for approximately 45 miles of Interstate 95 in Northern Virginia. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Oct. 20 received an informational presentation from the department on the feasibility of converting the I-95 reversible express lanes to bi-directional operations. The express lanes currently operate in one direction at a time, with the direction changing based on established weekday and weekend schedules; drivers traveling in the opposite direction cannot access the express lanes. The proposed bi-directional configuration would allow express lane travel in both directions at all times. The proposed project, led by the Virginia Department of Transportation, is still in the feasibility stage, according to a county news release. Feasibility has not yet been determined because potential property, traffic, road configuration, ingress and egress and environmental impacts require further study, the release states. The schedule and construction timeline also remain uncertain, pending the results of the study, necessary approvals and a commercial agreement. The examination is evaluating approximately 45 miles of the I-95 Express Lanes from near the Springfield Interchange in Fairfax County to Spotsylvania County. Under the concept presented to the board, three express lanes would
