Philadelphia's I-95 Collapse: Officials Unveil Reconstruction Plan and Timeline.
TL;DR
Officials in Philadelphia have unveiled a plan to repair an elevated section of Interstate 95 that collapsed when a tanker truck caught fire in the underpass. The most efficient way to get the impacted lanes reopened will be to backfill and pave over the Cottman Avenue underpass and then work to build a new bridge. The northbound lanes of the affected segment collapsed, while the southbound lanes are compromised and will also need to be replaced. I-95 is one of the busiest travel corridors in the United States and serves as the main north-south highway on the East Coast.
