I-95 collapse site will reopen to traffic ‘within 2 weeks,’ Gov. Shapiro says

PHILADELPHIA — Gov. Josh Shapiro said Saturday the collapsed section of I-95 in Philadelphia will be reopened within two weeks, unveiling an aggressive timeline to get traffic flowing again through the busy East Coast thoroughfare.

“I can state with confidence that we will have I-95 reopened within the next two weeks,” Shapiro said during a news conference in a Philadelphia airport hangar, after he took a helicopter tour of the I-95 collapse site in Northeast Philadelphia with President Joe Biden and other elected officials.

“We are going to get traffic moving again thanks to the extraordinary work that is going on here by these union trade workers,” Shapiro said. He again called the project “our championship.”
