Truck Strike Closes I-95 North in Philadelphia: Bridge Repairs and Detours

A section of Interstate-95 in Philadelphia will be closed for several days after an oversized vehicle struck an overhead rail bridge, prompting an emergency repair plan by Conrail. The closure is expected to cause significant traffic delays, and motorists are advised to avoid the area. The truck, carrying a water reclamation system burner, was en route to be scrapped when it clipped the bridge. Electronic message boards are being used to alert motorists about the closure and provide information about alternate routes.
