PennDOT announces upgrade coming to Scranton bridge

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — An infrastructure upgrade is coming to North Scranton. PennDOT plans to reconstruct the West Market Street Bridge over Leach Creek at Yard Avenue, a spot heavily damaged by flash flooding back in September 2023.

Starting in the spring of 2027, crews will replace the old stone arch and metal pipe with a modern precast box culvert, restore the streambed, and install a reinforced concrete wall along Leach Creek.

Counting down until Knoebels’ opening day

Homeland Security branch coming to Luzerne County

FORTY FORT, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A branch of Homeland Security is coming to Luzerne County. The Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority approved contracts for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which is overseen by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to work out of its facility.

HSI is a department under ICE. This agency will soon occupy a vacant section of the facility.

The executive director tells 28/22 News the leasing deal has been a few years in the making, and it's one a county resident I spoke with feels unsure about.
