DUNMORE, Pa. — A stretch of road will be closed in Dunmore starting on Monday for a water main project.
Beginning on June 7, South Blakely Street will be closed from Prescott Avenue to West Grove Street.
Drivers planning to drive down South Blakely Street coming from the direction of Drinker Street will detour down Cherry Street/Wheeler Avenue, to Myrtle Street, on to Quincy Street, then Poplar Street, and back to South Blakely Street.
Work will happen from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., but that section of South Blakely will remain closed only overnight.
Pennsylvania American Water crews will be working on the $19 million project to install new water mains.
Officials say the work will increase the reliability of the water system infrastructure.
The project is slated to be completed by the end of July in Lackawanna County.
