Detours to begin on Route 11 in Lackawanna County

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Lane restrictions are coming to a busy stretch of highway in Lackawanna County.

28/22 News previously reported about the preservation project on Route 11 in part of Scranton and South Abington Township.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says the project will use a new sealing technique called "cape seal."

It's considered more cost-effective than traditional paving and will better protect the roadway from wear and tear.

That detour starts on Monday and continues through Wednesday, August 6.
