LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — State Representative Alec Ryncavage has announced the permanent repair at the Kirby Avenue Railroad Crossing.
According to the release, State Rep. Ryncavage announced he engaged with the Reading Railroad Government Affairs office to expedite the repair process for the Reading Railroad crossing at Kirby Avenue.
“The intersection at Kirby Avenue has been a source of frustration and safety concerns for residents and commuters due to its deteriorating condition,” said Ryncavage.

The release states the use of stone was necessitated by the unavailability of asphalt due to seasonal constraints.
“Following emergency track repair, which took place two weeks ago, temporary measures were implemented, including the placement of stone at the crossing. However, the use of stone caused turbulent conditions for vehicles crossing the tracks, resulting in inconvenience and, for some, damage, which led to my office getting involved,” explained Ryncavage.
The mobilization of paving equipment will include Kirby Avenue crossing and Chruch Road crossing.
