Reply to comment by PACubsFan23 in Any scenic route(s) from DC up to the Pocono Township area? by CrownStarr

Route 611 through DWG is currently closed for months by PennDOT to stabilize the cliff face after a big rock slide there. If coming from the south towards Stroudsburg, going to need to use Route 33 to cross the mountain at Wind Gap.

No problem. Last I heard, it was going to be closed through the majority of next summer.

Business owners in Delaware Water Gap borough are understandably pissed since it had just reopened after an earlier road collapse that required like 400+ segments of Jersey barrier to reinforce the roadway.

Apparently getting approval from the National Park Service to work on the cliff face in the Rec Area's going to take PennDOT some time.
