A tanker fire caused part of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia to collapse, June 11, 2023. -- WPVIPHILADELPHIA — Repairs on Interstate 95 are expected to take"months" after an elevated section collapsed in Philadelphia on Sunday morning when a tanker truck carrying flammable cargo caught fire, officials said.
Shapiro said he had spoken directly to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg who assured him there would be"absolutely no delay" in getting federal funds to safely and swiftly rebuild the"critical roadway." The northbound side of the affected segment"completely collapsed," while the southbound lanes are"not structurally sound to carry any traffic," Shapiro said. One vehicle remains trapped beneath the collapsed roadway, according to the governor.
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. An average of more than 160,000 vehicles travel across the impacted section in Philadelphia every day, according to a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
