The I-66 Express Lanes connecting Route 29 in Gainsville to Route 28 in Centreville are set to open this weekend, ahead of schedule.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) made the announcement Friday (Sept. 2), touting that the opening of the western part of its highway widening project will help congestion on I-66 “sooner than originally planned.”

“We are pleased to join our 66 Express Lanes project partners in opening the first segment of one of Virginia’s largest megaprojects ahead of schedule,” VDOT Commissioner Stephen Brich said in the press release. “By opening the western segment of the new 66 Express Lanes early, we are able to start delivering congestion relief to I-66 travelers sooner than originally planned.”

The 9-mile stretch of road opening this weekend connects the Route 28 interchange in Centreville to Prince William County. Officials said opening that section now will help motorists get used to the new traffic patterns before the rest of the lanes open later this year.

Extending to the Capital Beltway interchange in Dunn Loring, the remaining 13 miles of express lanes are scheduled to open by December.

“This is an important step in opening the new 66 Express Lanes, allowing customers to begin to experience the benefits that the new managed lanes and project enhancements will provide, and helping to ensure a great customer experience when the full corridor opens at the end of the year,” Javier Guiterrez, CEO for the private contractor I-66 Express Mobility Partners, said.

Overall, the nearly-complete $3.7 billion project mostly centered in Fairfax County will bring widened roads with toll lanes and potentially make room for mass transit projects, while also rebuilding a number of bridges spanning the highway.

There will also be 11 miles of shared-use trails between Fairfax and Prince William counties.

Work began in late 2017 and is expected to finish in mid-2023, though the remaining express lanes will open to traffic a few months prior to that.

I-66 will still have three general traffic, toll-free lanes in the eastbound and westbound directions. The project is adding two high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes in each direction.

Buses, carpoolers, and motorcyclists will be able to use those lanes for free, while all other motorists will pay a toll based on real-time traffic conditions. The lanes expand the 10 miles of toll lanes between the Beltway and D.C. that opened in 2017.

The project also includes the construction of dedicated on- and off-ramps at Route 234/Sudley Road, Route 28, and Braddock and Walney Roads. Drivers will be able to access the Express Lanes from several general-purpose lanes, including near Route 28.

The I-66 Express Lanes construction is a result of a public-private partnership between VDOT and I-66 Express Mobility Partners, which will maintain and operate the HOT lanes under the 50-year agreement.

On Jan. 20, Fairfax County Fire says two cars went up in flames. Then on Jan. 27, less than a mile away, two more cars were set on fire.

CENTREVILLE, Va. — At least four cars have been set on fire, according to Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department in the last week.

On Jan. 20, at around 3 a.m., they responded to the intersection of Flomation Court and Compton Village Court. There they found two cars on fire. They told WUSA9 they believe the cars were intentionally set on fire.

Friday night there was still debris from the fire in the street.

Neighbors described the fire as sounding "like when fire shooters go up in the sky it was like that, then moments later it was like boom".

"I heard like three or four times like loud loud blast," said Satinder Kalso who also lives nearby.

He said the flames were at least 10 feet high, and he was worried it was going to spread to the trees and nearby homes.

Exactly one week later, on Jan. 27, emergency crews responded to Flamborough Road and Club Run Court, which is less than a mile away, and found two cars on fire. They also believe these cars were intentionally set on fire.

"It's pretty scary. Centreville looks really safe but then you see something like this happen and you're like is this really safe," questioned a neighbor.

No one was hurt during either fire.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue told WUSA9 they are looking into whether or not these fires are connected.

The Mia Saunders School of Ballet (MSB) returns to the CVHS stage to celebrate the twenty-eighth anniversary production of the holiday classic, The Nutcracker on December 10 and 11, 2021 at 4:00 pm in the Centreville High School Auditorium located at 6001 Union Mill Road in Clifton. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the scholarship fund of the Centreville High School Drama Boosters and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

For 30 years, MSB has been a home for young artists to give the gift of dance to the community. The all student and volunteer production of The Nutcracker has become a beloved community event that plays to capacity crowds each year and keeps audiences and dancers alike guessing what’s new with this year’s production and what parts their favorite friend, student or babysitter are playing. Says Artistic Director Hannah Gestwick, “I love watching our dancers grow and mature each year. The bonds the dancers create with their fellow artists and their excitement to be embracing a new and more challenging part each year is inspiring. I am so proud of my student’s effort and enthusiasm and MSB is thrilled to continue our winter tradition of dancing as a gift for others this year with two live performances of The Nutcracker.”

The dancers look forward each year to advancing in their craft, progressing through the various parts as each matures as an artist. Says Katie Wood, a senior at Centreville High School dancing the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy "I have danced with Mia Saunders Ballet for almost thirteen years, and getting to fulfill my long standing goal of being the Sugar Plum Fairy means absolutely everything to me. The grace and joy that the role exerts is what I find so beautiful, but it's the memories of watching past Sugar Plum Fairy’s that makes it immensely special for me. All the way from being a mouse, Clara, and even Dahlia, I have always admired the hard-work and artistry that is required of Sugar Plum. Performing in The Nutcracker has always been a true highlight of my holiday season, and it will always hold an important place in my heart.

Gestwick is proud of the dedication of her growing dance community and enjoys her students growing as artists. Says Gestwick, “Katie (Wood) is a very smart, resilient, and hardworking artist, with a drive and dedication that is inspiring to many students (and to me!). I can’t wait to see what she does, where she goes, how she grows in the years ahead.”

(As part of our reporting on news in Loudoun County and surrounding communities we sometimes come across new restaurant brands and other businesses entering the wider Northern Virginia market. While they may not be in our immediate area, we thought some readers might find this kind of news interesting. With that, we are starting these occasional “New in NoVa” reports.)

A new healthy eating option with a unique twist is making its way into Northern Virginia with a first location in Centreville. It’s called Clean Eatz, part of a nationwide chain of cafes featuring healthier menu options.

According to the company’s website, the first Clean Eatz in NoVa will be in the Westfields development just off SR 28 at Westfields Boulevard.

The restaurants all have two unique sides to their food service. One side is the typical dine-in or carry-out “cafe” menu.

The cafe includes burgers where you have options of bison, salmon, black bean, or turkey burgers. There are also flatbreads, melts, wraps, bowls, smoothies, and many other choices. See the full menu here.

However, Clean Eatz also offers weekly meal plans. You choose from a menu in advance, place your order, and they prepare healthy meals for you to take home and eat throughout the week. It’s a combination restaurant and diet meal plan kitchen all under one roof.

Here’s how the brand describes itself: “Clean Eatz is more than a restaurant that offers healthy food. We are heart-driven to change livez through clean, balanced food, thought-provoking education and motivational support that inspires results.”

Clean Eatz currently has locations open or in the works in 20 states. There are seven Clean Eatz locations listed for Virginia. The next closest can be found in Fredericksburg.

The Clean Eatz in Centreville is still in the very early stages, so an opening will likely happen sometime later in 2023.
