Expect delays all day Friday in Manassas Park as motorists make their way down the east side of city's main thoroughfare, Manassas Drive—the roadway will be closed to vehicle traffic from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. said Dean Crowhurst, Manassas Park's attorney and acting city manager.
Norfolk Southern, the owner of the railroad, will be replacing railroad ties in the area near the Virginia Railway Express stop and no vehicle traffic will be able to pass where the railroad meets Manassas Drive.
Manassas Park officials were just notified about the closure late Thursday evening.
Norfolk Southern is performing similar work in front of the Manassas Train Depot in old town through next week, Manassas City spokeswoman Patty Prince said.
