Governor Shapiro announces reopening of collapsed section of I-95.
Governor Josh Shapiro and PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll announced that I-95 will reopen this weekend, ahead of the originally projected two-week timeline. Crews have worked around the clock to rebuild I-95 within two weeks of the collapse, thanks to the coordinated partnership of PennDOT, the Biden Administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the City of Philadelphia, and the hard work of the Philadelphia Building Trades. The roadway will be paved with 3 new lanes in both directions, and the Pennsylvania State Police will escort trucks carrying the pavers up I-95 to ensure they get to the site safely and quickly.
