Portions of Interstate 95 have collapsed after a large gasoline-fueled fire broke out Sunday morning, bringing traffic to a standstill and closing down parts of a major roadway. Here's what you need to know about the collapse and reconstruction efforts.
What areas of I-95 are impacted by the collapse?
SKYFOX flew over the collapsed bridge as fire crews worked to put out the flames beneath the fallen concrete. All lanes of I-95 near Cottman Avenue have been shut down after a tanker truck fire caused a portion of the roadway to collapse. State Police officials say they have been in contact with the company that owns the tanker truck, but no information is available about the business or the driver. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro called the fire and subsequent collapse "remarkable devastation" in a late Sunday afternoon press briefing.
While experts are looking at temporary solutions to connect both sides of I-95 to get traffic through the area, Shapiro says a complete rebuild will take several months. Drivers are being asked to avoid the area as city, state and federal crews continue an emergency response.
