Work to begin on bridge project

SCRANTON - Repairs to the River Street bridge over Interstate 81 will affect traffic on the South Scranton span through the winter, the state Department of Transportation said Thursday.

Traffic on the bridge will be limited to one lane in each direction, beginning Wednesday, while the deck is replaced, the piers are encapsulated and other repairs are made, PennDOT said.

The project is expected to be completed in summer 2010, the agency said.
