Celebrating the Reopening of I-95 in Philadelphia and the Workers Who Made it Happen
TL;DR Summary
Governor Josh Shapiro's administration organized a ceremony to celebrate the reopening of I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia, which was rebuilt in just 12 days after a gas tanker explosion took out the Cottman Avenue overpass. The reopening was commemorated by mascots from all five major league Philadelphia sports teams, union workers, TikTok influencers, and the president of the United States. The temporary roadway that reconnects the collapsed segment is built atop a big wall of foam glass sourced from Delco’s Aero Aggregates. PennDOT will begin to construct the permanent fix: a new overpass, built from the outside working in.
