The section of I-95 that collapsed during a deadly tanker truck crash and fire earlier this month will reopen to traffic this weekend, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced during a Tuesday afternoon press conference. Full story HERE:
Shapiro made the announcement while providing updates on the rebuilding process during a Tuesday afternoon press conference. Shapiro also said temporary lanes of the highway had been completely refilled by a recycled glass aggregate.
Mixed with paper and plastic, bits of glass are the basis of the recycled glass aggregate, which is made by the Delaware County-based company AeroAggregates of North America.

They expect to complete the east side of the section by Tuesday night and the west side by Wednesday.
The crews will then begin paving three new lanes of the section in both directions, weather permitting. Pennsylvania State Police will escort trucks carrying the pavers up I-95 to make sure they get to the site safely and as quickly as possible, officials said. Shapiro had initially said on Saturday that I-95 would reopen in two weeks. During Tuesday's press conference, he changed the timing to this weekend however, based on the progress he's seen so far.
