Residents invited to Roebling Bridge repair session

Posted

HAWLEY, PA — The National Historic Landmark Roebling Bridge (Roebling’s Delaware Aqueduct) will undergo significant maintenance work beginning the week of September 27. The National Park Service at Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River (NPS), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will hold a public informational meeting about the project on Wednesday, September 14 at the Lackawaxen Township Building, 169 Urban Rd., from 6 to 8 p.m.

Representatives from the NPS and FHWA will be present to answer questions about the project, road closures, detour routes and the construction schedule in an open-house format throughout the evening.

The repairs being made to Roebling Bridge include expansion joint replacement, sealing of concrete deck, resurfacing of asphalt pavement, drainage improvements, icebreaker timbers and stone masonry repairs.

Though the structure will be open Friday through Sunday, many of these repair activities will require weekday closure of the bridge to vehicular traffic. Pedestrian access across the bridge will be maintained. Parking in NPS parking lots will be affected during repairs.

Information about road closures and detour routes associated with the project can also be found at www.nps.gov/upde/planyourvisit.htm. For more information call Carla Hahn at 570/729-8251, ext. 2226 or email carla_hahn@nps.gov.
