I-95 Collapse Causes Chaos for Truckers and Businesses

The collapse of a section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia has disrupted the transport of goods and the commute of employees, causing delays and higher costs for truckers and businesses. However, experts and business officials say the economic damage will remain largely contained to the immediate region, as alternative highway routes are available. The damaged highway would have little impact on deliveries without pickup or drop-off in the immediate region. The Pennsylvania governor said the most efficient way to get I-95 reopened will be to backfill an underpass and then work to build a new permanent bridge.
