SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- A bridge used by thousands of motorists each day will soon be closed.

The Lackawanna Avenue bridge in Scranton is shutting down on July 7th so construction on a new bridge can begin. The bridge is a main artery connecting the west side of Scranton to the downtown.

It'll be replaced with a steel plate girder bridge. The architectural integrity will be maintained by preserving the original concrete arches.

Construction is expected to take up to 18-months. It will cost 5.2 million dollars.
