Gov. Josh Shapiro made the announcement during a news conference on Tuesday, saying the timeline was thanks to the hard work of the crews on site.Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said the portion of Interstate 95 that collapsed in Philadelphia last week, snarling traffic in the region and creating headaches for commuters and truckers alike, will be open again this weekend.
Shapiro made that announcement during a news conference on Tuesday, saying the timeline was thanks to the hard work of the crews on site and the cooperation of local, state and federal officials. "Based on the tremendous progress that we have made over the last 72 hours and the time it takes to complete the remaining steps, I can confidently state right here, right now, that traffic will be flowing here on I-95 this weekend," Shapiro said.
Workers made "significant additional progress" in filling the gap with glass aggregate over the holiday weekend, Shapiro said. This week, crews will begin paving three new lanes in both directions, Shapiro said. He added the Pennsylvania State Police will escort the trucks carrying the pavers up I-95 to "make sure they get to the site safely and as quickly as possible."
