Dunmore, PA – PennDOT has opened the Route 435 “flyover" bridge leading from Interstate 84 from Dunmore to Roaring Brook in Lackawanna County this afternoon, after 11 months of construction as part of the Twin Bridges project.

Through this project, two bridges are being replaced and a right-hand exit to Route 435 southbound was created via a “flyover" structure spanning both directions of I-84. Changing the previous left-hand exit to a right-hand exit makes the experience standardized and predictable for drivers, while allowing smoother transitions and merging.

Additional work includes roadway reconstruction and retaining-wall construction to accommodate Route 435 grade adjustments. In addition, an abandoned railroad bridge previously operated by the Erie & Wyoming Railroad will be rehabilitated for use during construction and for future use in the Lackawanna County Trail Corridor.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
