After two years of being closed, work is finally set to begin in effort to reopen Route 611 in Monroe and Northampton Counties.

In an announcement from Rep. Matt Cartwright (PA-08)'s office, work is set to begin Wednesday, Aug. 14, after the National Park Service approved PennDOT's special use permit application this week.

“This is what happens when we come together at all levels of government and I’m proud of what we accomplished as a team,” Cartwright said.

“I want to thank State Senator Rosemary Brown and State Representative Tarah Probst and all the offices who joined the cause to get the necessary repairs expedited and to get Route 611 back up and running. Today's announcement is proof that locking arms delivers real results for the people we serve," Cartwright's office said.
