Road repairs to start Tuesday
SCRANTON - The state Department of Transportation has announced that Scranton-area road projects are among those set to get under way this week.
Drivers can expect detours on Interstate 81 ramps from Tuesday through July 1, on ramps from the Casey Highway to I-81 north, and to Dunmore and from I-84 and 380 west to Dunmore.
In Scranton, the Cedar Avenue ramp to the Central Scranton Expressway will be closed from Tuesday until July while the Moosic Street Bridge is replaced.
And, the McDade Expressway will be a single lane in both directions on the bridge over Main Avenue until June 1. Major delays are expected with this project, especially at rush hours.
PennDOT also reminded drivers that RailRiders games begin Thursday and traffic to the stadium will cause delays near the Davis Street exit of I-81.
