I-95 Reconstruction Progresses with NASCAR Jet Dryer and Paving Crews.
TL;DR Summary
Pennsylvania officials have confirmed that Interstate 95 will reopen this weekend, less than two weeks after a gasoline tanker crash and fire caused the roadway to collapse. The state's plan for a quick interim fix has involved trucking in 2,000 tons of lightweight recycled glass nuggets to fill in the collapsed area, avoiding supply-chain delays for other materials. Crews will use a NASCAR jet dryer to finish construction during an upcoming rainy stretch. The repair work will cost an estimated $25 million to $30 million, and the federal government has committed to cover the full cost.
