The collapsed stretch of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia will reopen within two weeks, Pennsylvania's governor said Saturday, after joining U.S. President Joe Biden on a helicopter tour over the critical stretch of highway closed to East Coast traffic since last weekend.
A mass of tangled rebar lay at the scene of a collapsed elevated section of Interstate 95, Tuesday, June 13, 2023, in Philadelphia. The collapsed stretch of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia will reopen within two weeks, Pennsylvania's governor said Saturday, after joining President Joe Biden on a helicopter tour over the critical stretch of highway closed to East Coast traffic since last weekend.
Shapiro, offering a timeline that would be welcome news to commuters and long-haul truckers alike, said with Biden at his side: “I can state with confidence that we will have I-95 reopened within the next two weeks. We are going to get traffic moving again thanks to the extraordinary work that is going on here.”
“I've directed my team ... to move heaven and earth to get this done as soon as humanly possible,” Biden said. He said he told the governor, “There's no more important project right now in the country as far as I'm concerned.” The president described it as an “all hands on deck” project to address a “crisis.”
