Manassas Railroad Crossing Replacement

Manassas officials have long wanted to replace the railroad crossing at Va. 28 and Wellington Road. With the help of Recovery Act funding, the repairs will finally be completed. A new bridge will be built over the tracks at that intersection at a cost of roughly $46 million. Of the total, $24.9 million will come from Recovery Act funds. Senator Colgan said that the project is "probably the most important transportation project for the City of Manassas."
