Crews work on Price Creek to prevent flooding, road damage

DICKSON CITY, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Work is being done on a certain creek that caused a lot of flooding and road damage in Dickson City back in 2021.

A heavy rainstorm caused Price Creek, which runs underground in Dickson City, to flood and spew water from underneath the road on Dundaff Street.

Borough officials hope this new project will prevent a disaster like that from ever happening again.

In May 2021, a powerful storm sent water and debris rushing down Price Creek, ultimately closing the road for six months.
