PennDOT says I-84 'twin bridges' and Green Ridge Street bridge have reopened

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials on Thursday reopened two major bridge projects to traffic in Lackawanna County.

The Interstate 84 "twin bridges" in Roaring Brook were made fully accessible to drivers in both directions during the day, officials said, although work won't be fully completed until 2026.

The Green Ridge Street Bridge in Scranton, meanwhile, was reopened Thursday evening. Like the I-84 project it is nearly complete, although some work will continue into the new year.
