After Route 28 Bypass Project Ends, Take Our Manassas Patch Survey

MANASSAS, VA — With the Route 28 Bypass project scrapped, officials will have to look for other solutions to fix congestion in the Route 28 corridor within Manassas, Prince William County and Manassas Park. We are surveying readers to hear your perspectives on fixing the embattled road.

The bypass, had been a years-long effort to address the growing traffic on Route 28, a key route in the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park and Prince William County. The project would have involved extending Godwin Drive Across Sudley Road as a four-lane divided road connecting with Route 28 north of Bull Run Stream in Fairfax County.

Prince William County supervisors had voted for the bypass option in 2020. However, increasing costs and lack of support from Fairfax County were key reasons leading supervisors to vote 5-3 on Tuesday to cancel the project.

If a bypass isn't the solution to fixing Route 28, we want to hear which alternatives you prefer. Is it a road widening or other road improvements? Could it be targeted efforts to get more people working closer to home? Something else? Let us know your thoughts in the survey below.

This survey will be open until 12 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 12. The anonymous survey is non-scientific and is only intended to gauge reader sentiment from the Manassas and Manassas Park areas.
