Members of the Mason Neck Lions Club placed their latest donated bench at a bus stop along Richmond Highway on Jan. 15, according to a release from Lion Joseph Chudzik.

The stop is in Lorton on the northbound lane, across from Williamsburg Family Practice Medical Center and Williamsburg Square Shopping Center.

Lions have previously added benches to other stops, including Gunston Plaza Shopping Center and the Lorton 7-Eleven on Richmond Highway. Members of the group fabricate the 440-pound benches themselves, using durable materials including reinforced concrete, pressure-treated lumber and galvanized steel bolts.

In addition to bus stops, the Lions also sell benches to be placed as memorials. Some of those already placed are located in the Meadowood Recreation Area, Mason Neck Trail, Dale City Park and Lorton Community Action Center.
