Temporary I-95 roadway to open for traffic this weekend, Gov. Shapiro says

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said I-95 in Philadelphia will reopen this weekend – two weeks after the fire and collapse in the northbound lanes near Cottman Avenue.

Shapiro says crews have finished backfilling the underpass and are now setting beams. Pavers will be brought in later this week – and then the first car will go over the highway this weekend.

Crews have been working around the clock after an overpass of the highway collapsed in Philadelphia early on the morning of June 11, 2023.

Shapiro gave a ton of credit to the workers who have been here around the clock – making sure they can get the highway open as quickly as possible.
