NASCAR and Pocono Raceway crews aid in speedy reopening of I-95 in Philadelphia.
TL;DR Summary
A NASCAR jet dryer will be on standby to help dry the road as crews work to reopen a damaged portion of I-95 in Philadelphia just weeks after a fire caused several lanes of the highway to collapse. Wet weather on the East Coast threatened to delay the reopening, but the NASCAR vehicle, which uses compressed air to push water off racetracks, will be available to help with the paving and striping process. The damaged parts of the road were demolished and an interim roadway was built, which will allow for three temporary lanes in each direction.
