Landmark cemetery entrance removed in name of progress

Anyone driving by the Laureldale Cemetery in Muhlenberg Township may notice something different.

The cemetery's former entrance is being dismantled.

Cemetery officials said PennDOT is taking down the structure to make way for improvements to Route 61 at Tuckerton Road.

We're told the structure was built more than 70 years ago but was recently acquired by PennDOT.

The improvements to Route 61 are expected to be completed in May 2017.
