Interstate 95 Reopens In Philadelphia In Under Two Weeks After Deadly Collapse

Workers completed a temporary six-lane roadway to reopen the highway ahead of schedule.
The closure of the highway disrupted traffic and commerce but the accelerated repairs mitigated prolonged impacts.
Crushed glass was used as a lightweight filler to raise the roadbed to surface level where the overpass collapsed.
The reconstruction was praised by government officials as an innovative solution completed in record time.
A truck-mounted jet dryer helped ensure conditions were suitable for re-striping the roadway, enabling an expedient reopening.
