TL;DR Summary

Pennsylvania will use 2,000 tons of recycled glass nuggets to fill in the collapsed section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia, avoiding supply-chain delays for other materials. Crews will work 24/7 to reopen the critical commercial artery, but officials declined to estimate how long it will take. The Biden administration has pledged aid as the collapse snarls traffic in Philadelphia. The glass nuggets are produced by AeroAggregates of North America, which mills glass bottles and jars diverted from landfills into a powder and heats it into a foam to produce small, lightweight nuggets that are gray and look like rocks.
