Street Closed After Building Collapse in Shenandoah Heights

Late Monday and Tuesday, a street was closed in West Mahanoy Township due to a building that is deteriorating and collapsing.


Around 5:30pm, Monday evening, Ohio Avenue, in Shenandoah Heights, West Mahanoy Township, was closed after the third floor of a building began to collapse near the intersection with Norton Way.

Police and fire remained at the scene and later reopened Ohio Avenue after they deemed it safe for traffic.

Officials said that Ohio Avenue would close again on Tuesday while a demolition company is on-site to come up with a plan to bring the structure down.
