A bridge in Benton Township, Lackawanna County is closed after partially collapsing Tuesday. According to a release from the county, township employees were working on the bridge on Earl Clark Road when it happened.
Larry Lukasik, director of the Lackawanna County Department of Roads and Bridges, said the damage is significant and will require an engineering review and major repairs. He estimates construction would begin in 2027.
It is not yet known if a temporary solution is available to reopen the bridge in the meantime.
