Governor assures reopening of collapsed I-95 stretch in Philadelphia within two weeks.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced that the collapsed stretch of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia will reopen within two weeks after a tractor-trailer hauling gasoline flipped over on an off-ramp and caught fire, closing the highway to East Coast traffic since last weekend. President Joe Biden joined Shapiro on a helicopter tour over the critical segment of the highway and outlined the substantial initial federal commitment and longer-term support for a permanent fix for the vital roadway. The plan involves trucking in 2,000 tons of lightweight glass nuggets for the quick rebuilding, with crews working around the clock until the interstate is open to traffic.
