An alert was issued by the Prince William County Police Department on Wednesday, Aug. 16, where there was a questionable item found in the Horner Commuter Lot, officials say.

State Police investigators were called to the lot, according to police, and the lot was temporarily closed on Wednesday morning, and commuters were impacted.

Hours later, before noon, the suspicious device was deemed safe, and it was determined that it was potentially a piece of construction equipment that fell off a vehicle.

Police cleared the area and the lot was reopened, though they noted that "residual commuter impacts (can be) expected."
