BEAR CREEK TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — The Laurel Run Bridge is set to reopen after nearly nine months of being closed.
The closure was part of a $15,700,000 bridge replacement project on the PA Turnpike's Northeast Extension.
Line striping, paving, and guide rail installation had been completed by last Friday.
Could Pennsylvania see snowfall this week?
Detours around the closure in Bear Creek Township totaled 14 miles and added over 20 minutes to driver's commutes.
The road was expected to open at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, nine days ahead of schedule.
