Road Collapse...

by News Department on 07/07/15

A section of road on Railroad Street in Cressona has collapsed, causing concern to motorists. 


According to the Republican Herald, Council President James Johns said the area has been getting worse since the winter along with recent heavy rains that have been contributing to the collapse in the 100 block of Railroad Street. 

He said water from rainfall or other sources gathers in the area along the road. 

Borough engineer Steve Moyer said there is a meeting at 1 p.m. July 13 on site so representatives from Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad Co., an engineer, a local contractor and borough officials can meet about the issue.
