Information about paving and restriping in the Mount Vernon District will be on display in an open house format with a presentation at 7:30 p.m.
Portions of nearly 40 streets with be repaved with Furnace Road from Lorton Road to Route 1 and Hooes Road between Ox Road and the Fairfax County Parkway being two of the longest sections. A nearly three-mile long section of Pohick Road from Southrun Road to Rolling Road also will be repaved.
