PennDOT to Perform Emergency Bridge Repairs to the Skinners Falls Bridge on Route 1002 in Wayne County

Dunmore, PA- PennDOT will remove loose bridge components, install warning signs and buoys upstream and downstream of the bridge, and install temporary protective netting to the superstructure as part of an Aids to Navigation Plan (ATON) for the restriction of the navigable waterway under the Skinners Falls bridge located on Route 1002 in Damascus Township, Wayne County. An ATON plan has been created to show the placement of warning signs and buoys to allow for safe passage of boaters within the vicinity of the bridge. Work will continue through the fall of 2024.
