City of Carbondale issued the following announcement on Dec. 26.
Water Situation Under Control - ALL Roadways in the area are REOPEN!
MOTORIST ALERT:
Wayne Street (S.R. 1019) in the City of Carbondale is currently experiencing a Major Water Run-Off Hazard from a combination of the rain & melted snow.
- This water quickly filled the abandoned underground mines in the area, and now has reached capacity.
- This happens periodically, but tonight’s frigid temperatures are certainly not cooperating - with overnight lows expected in the Teens.
- Also, in the past, this situation has continuously dumped water onto other streets (SALEM, 7TH, 8TH, PARK, SPRING, etc.) - upwards of 2 or 3 Days!
- So this warning may last the entire weekend.
- Please Use Caution in these areas.
- PENNDOT is also on scene and evaluating whether a full road Closure & Detour may be needed - for the next few days.
Please Stay Tuned for Updates!!
