Nearly 19 months after a rock slide closed Route 611 in Delaware Water Gap and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area — and nine months after the initial estimated date to reopen it — the road remains closed. And that likely won’t change this year, or possibly anytime soon.

Dozens of pages of emails between PennDOT and the National Park Service obtained by The Morning Call through Freedom of Information Act requests show a constant back and forth, with some email chains going over several weeks and seeming to demonstrate a lack of urgency that has upset residents, business owners and local officials.

The stretch of highway, which winds through Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area from Portland and Upper Mount Bethel Township in Northampton County to Delaware Water Gap Borough in Monroe County, has been blocked to all traffic since December 2022, forcing drivers on lengthy and expensive detours.

MIDDLE SMITHFIELD TWP., Pa. - The Monroe County Coroner has identified a man killed at a bar last week.

The manner of death for Henry David Koroma, Jr., formerly of Scranton, was ruled a homicide, according to Monroe County Coroner Tom Yanac.

Yanac says he is not yet releasing the cause of death pending further investigation.

Police have said they have an active arrest warrant for homicide for Matthew Herberto Morales. Police said Morales is wanted following a shooting that happened at My Place Bar and Grill on Milford Road in Middle Smithfield Township-- near East Stroudsburg.

Morales has yet to be apprehended, authorities say.

Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso says Morales is a fugitive and is possibly armed and dangerous. If anyone has information on his whereabouts, they're asked to call 911.

The shooting happened just before 11 p.m. Friday.
