Shapiro: "Traffic Will Be Flowing On I-95 This Weekend" [View all]
In a stunning development, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced that traffic will be flowing on I-95 this weekend.
In a Tuesday press conference at the construction site, Shapiro, PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney spoke about the progress made by crews working 24/7.
We have worked around the clock to get this done, and weve completed each phase safely and ahead of schedule, said Shapiro who is celebrating his 50th birthday. Thats all due to the incredible coordination with our local, state, and federal partners and thanks to the hard-working men and women of the Philadelphia Building Trades who are making this happen.
This is what it looks like when the ingenuity of Delco meets the grit of Philly. This is what happens when we all come together.
In partnership with PennDOT, the United States Department of Transportation, the City of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Building Trades, crews have worked around the clock to reopen the roadway safely within two weeks of the collapse well ahead of original predictions.
