VDOT Incident Management Open House

To kick off Federal Highway Administration’s National Traffic Incident Response Week, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is hosting its first-ever Incident Management Open House on Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Northern Virginia District Office, located at 4975 Alliance Drive in Fairfax. Veterans Day weekend is also a wonderful time to recognize the many veterans, who after serving their country, continue a career of public service. This is a free event!

An outdoor touch-a-truck exhibit will feature a simulated crash scene that will allow the public to see an incident scene from the perspective of first responders who work in the roadway every day. Participating agencies include:

• VDOT: special event truck, evacuation trailer, spill trailer, front-end loader, dump truck, Safety Service Patrol trucks, signal maintenance truck and a full-size overhead sign
• Coleman Motor Company: 50-ton rotator truck
• Dominion Energy: bucket truck
• Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department: fire engine, medic unit, rescue squad
