How to watch the I-95 construction livestream at Philadelphia collapse site
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said the livestream would give residents and commuters across the region “a sense of timing as we move forward.”
As promised, a livestream is now available for residents to watch the ongoing reconstruction of I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia, where a tanker truck fire caused a bridge to collapse on Sunday.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said the livestream would give residents and commuters across the region “a sense of timing as we move forward.”
Crews will work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to first build a temporary roadway at the collapse site, where I-95 remains closed in both directions, Shapiro said. That would allow the busy section of the highway — which averages about 160,000 vehicles a day — to partially reopen before the full reconstruction project is complete.
The plan is to fill in the demolished area with 2,000 tons of recycled glass pieces from Delaware County. Crews will then pave over the filled-in gap and open three lanes of traffic in each direction of I-95.
There is no timeline for how soon the section I-95 might reopen to traffic. The full reconstruction is expected to take months.
“We realize this is a challenge for motorists,” Shaprio said Wednesday. “That’s why these guys are working their tails off to get it done as quickly as possible.”
