VDOT meeting this week on plans for interchange at I-66 and US 15

Virginia Department of Transportation will host a community information meeting regarding the reconstruction of the I-66 and US 15 interchange (Exit 40) in Prince William County Wednesday, Oct. 29 at Battlefield High School, 15000 Graduation Drive in Haymarket.

Citizens are invited to stop by between 6 and 8 p.m. to view displays and learn about the project with VDOT staff available to answer questions. A formal presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m.
