Crews are hard at work at the I-95 collapse site currently in the process of filling in that gap so that a temporary roadway can be constructed.
"We are working as fast as we can. We worked through the rain and will work through the night to get it done as quickly as possible," said Pennsylvania Secretary of Transportation Mike Carroll.
The demolition portion of I-95 ended Thursday and workers are now readying to build the temporary roadway."The real challenge for us today is to try to get everything level, so we can proceed to elevate material up towards roadway," said Carroll.On Saturday morning, President Biden will get an aerial tour over the site.
He will be joined on the tour by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Senator Bob Casey, Congressman Brendan Boyle, and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney. President Biden has instructed his team "to move Heaven and Earth" and work around the clock to ensure the fastest possible reconstruction of the highway.
