⚠️ PORTION OF INTERSTATE 95 COLLAPSES

[DK23]

Is this on a stretch of 95 that can be bypassed by taking 495?

Do you mean 476 or 295? Either way, no unless you mean 295 in NJ to bypass Philly altogether. The main detour will be Rt 1, which has about 1000 traffic lights when it's Roosevelt Blvd, or local roads.

I'd bet money it was intentional. You notice how there's absolutely no mention of the driver. Just a truck caught fire under a bridge, of a thousand other places it could happen. This area is already heavy with horrible traffic every day, it's going to add huge amounts to people's drive or just make it impossible entirely.

When this happened in Harrisburg a few years ago, they had the new bridge built in under a month.

Amazing what happens when it is inconvenient to State employees .

You mean the connector ramp from 81 to 22? Yeah, I recall that and the fix was right pronto.

I lived in LA in 1994 when ~4 miles of I-10 collapsed. They got that fixed super-quick too.

Take the 309 to N Broad to Market to US 13. Fastest way south back in 1959.

I heard the FBI is dispatching a team to connect this to Trump, conservatives and/or white males.

This sounds like something that needs fixed quickly. I'm sure we'll see 6 workers, and a dozen crew cab trucks sitting in the area.

Yup, yellow trucks that sleep six. One guy digs as five guys watch.

Repairs will be fast-tracked, but that's some major fixing needed there...

I 95 closed AGAIN due to a fire under it. 06? was the last time?

That was a tire fire that damaged the roadway.

This affects the entire east coast, especially the northeast corridor. Contractors are being lined up as we speak with emergency authorization contracts. This will be repaired post haste.
