WILKES-BARRE — PennDOT has approved Luzerne County Council’s firm selection for design engineering work on the closed Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge, Council Chairman John Lombardo announced at Tuesday’s meeting.
Council has selected Modjeski and Masters Inc. based in Cumberland County. The firm designed the Carey Avenue replacement bridge that opened in 2002 over the Susquehanna River and links Hanover Twp. and Plymouth.
The county owns the closed Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge over the Susquehanna River and has been going through PennDOT’s process to select a design firm to determine how to repair, reconstruct or replace the bridge. That will allow the county to receive $10 million in federal project funding through the state Transportation Improvement Program.
“The project is one of the top priorities for all of us, and I’m pleased to announce that we’re moving forward on that in actually a rather timely manner, while ensuring that we’re doing it right,” County Manager Romilda Crocamo said. “The firm that was selected by council I’m confident will do an extraordinary job in this project. Your patience and your support during this process — it’s a rather tedious process — is greatly appreciated. … We have a lot of work to do, but we are up to the challenge.”
On March 20, Crocamo closed the bridge over the Susquehanna River shortly after engineers conducting a scheduled routine bridge inspection determined advanced deterioration and section loss of primary, load-carrying components were critical deficiencies.
The bridge, built in 1914, links Nanticoke City to the West Nanticoke section of Plymouth Twp. The distance between the West Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge and the next-closest bridge over the river, the Route 29 bridge connecting Hanover Twp. and Plymouth Twp., is more than one mile.
Last year, the vehicular weight limit on the bridge was reduced to 5 tons. That…

Fans in the Nutmeg State may find themselves without their lone professional sports team, if recent reports that the Connecticut Sun may be moved to Boston will come to fruition. However, the WNBA and team president Jennifer Rizzotti say it’s not a done deal yet.
“Contrary to some of the articles that were out yesterday, the team has not been sold,” Rizzotti said at a press conference on Sunday. “I can say that I have met personally with different investment groups over the last few months, and it’s been a thorough process. We’re not quite at the finish line yet.”
In May, the Mohegan Tribe hired investment bank Allen and Company to “explore all options to strategically invest in the team,” without ruling out a potential sale, according to WFSB Channel 3.
The commotion comes after the Boston Globe broke the news on Saturday that Boston-based investor Stephen Pagliuca had bid $325 million to purchase the team, a record-breaking price for a women’s sports franchise. Pagliuca is a former co-owner of the Boston Celtics, the city’s NBA team.
A statement by Pagliuca specifies his group’s objective is “[to] keep New England’s WNBA team in New England…enabling the Sun to play in larger capacity arenas” and to invest in the team’s growth, but notes that “no transaction has been agreed [to] yet.”
Another investment promise made by his Pags Group is an additional $100 million to build the team a dedicated practice facility in Boston. The Sun currently practice inside Mohegan Sun Arena or at the Mohegan Tribal Community Center, which is sometimes used as a shared space.

LOUDONVILLE, Ohio – Mohican State Park, one of Ohio’s most popular outdoor spaces, will debut a new visitor center this week.
The $4.7 million center, which opens Tuesday, will feature information about park activities, park geography and the flora and fauna of the area, plus plenty of places for hikers and other visitors to take a load off.
“Mohican to me is about trees and hikes through the beautiful forest, maybe canoeing down the beautiful waterways,” said Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. “The visitor center will reflect that. It will have a lodge feel to it along with a beautiful porch space.”
It will also have a fireplace, interactive public art and “great bathrooms – which is always the most important thing for park visitors,” said Mertz.
The 5,200-square foot center is located off Ohio 3, just south of Loudonville, about 70 miles southwest of Cleveland.
It’s adjacent to the Clear Fork Branch of the Mohican River and the entrance to the park campground. It will be open year-round.
The structure is one of a handful of visitor centers being added to Ohio’s most popular state parks in recent years. In 2019, the state added a visitor center to Hocking Hills State Park, the state’s flagship in Southeast Ohio.
A visitor center at Portage Lakes State Park in Summit County is expected to open this fall.
Mohican State Park, with 1,110 acres in southern Ashland County, is surrounded by 4,450 acres of Mohican Memorial State Forest.
The park is home to an overnight lodge, camping sites and cabins, plus hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails. For information: ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mohican-state-park
