“I can tell you now, I can state with confidence, that we will have I-95 reopened within the next two weeks,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said
The interstate crumbled June 11 after a tanker truck carrying 8,500 gallons of gasoline crashed and exploded in flames under the highway, officials said. The driver, identified as Nathan Moody, 53, was killed. “I can tell you now, I can state with confidence, that we will have I-95 reopened within the next two weeks,” Shapiro said, speaking alongside President Joe Biden following the president’s aerial tour of the highway collapse.
Once complete, according to PennDOT, vehicles can return to the section of I-95 as crews work on a permanent bridge while keeping six lanes of traffic open. Before the collapse, the bridge, which was 10 years old, was structurally sound and met current standards, Pennsylvania Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll said during a news conference Wednesday.
