With a section of I-95 severed in Philadelphia, traffic apps are sending drivers to New Jersey to get around the gap.
left by two fire damaged overpasses started Thursday, some of the displaced traffic has migrated across the Delaware River to New Jersey.Traffic and direction apps such as Waze and Google Maps has started routing traffic using some of the Garden States highways and Delaware River Port Authority bridges after the June 11 tanker truck crash and fire, despite official detours that were planned by emergency officials months ago.
He programmed both Waze and Google Maps with the start and end point of the detour near the affected I-95 Exits 30 and 32. There are good reasons for apps rerouting traffic. Even on Wednesday, videos on social media showed a solid line of traffic on I-95 north near the collapse. For local drivers with neighborhood destinations, they will be routed on local streets, Dimitrijevic said.
So far, the I-95 collapse hasn’t added too much traffic to New Jersey roads, said Stephen Schapiro, a state department of transportation spokesperson. State Assemblyman Bill Moen, D-5th Dist., who represents the Camden County district affected by traffic from the I-295-76, Route 42 junction and ato remake the interchange for a better, safer traffic flow has traffic concerns, which he’s asked the DOT to monitor.
Moen also said he’s seen more trucks and 18-wheelers using I-295 in the middle of the day while he was traveling.The potential extra wear and resulting repairs on state highways and local streets are conditions that Moen would like the DOT to monitor.
