South Main Street Closure Extended

The City of Wilkes-Barre has granted Wilkes University’s request to extend the temporary closure of South Main Street from South Street to Northampton Street for the extent of the project.

Beginning Monday, July 8th, this block of South Main Street will be closed Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM.  The closure will continue until the project is complete, sometime in early August.

By closing the street, work can safely proceed and be completed in a timelier fashion.

The contractor has agreed to assist people attempting to get to local businesses in that block.
