Re: PSA= I 85 collapses in Philly
Not really. It's the construction and paving companies owned by political official cronies that take their time on fat mega-million $ contracts paying out prevailing rate wages. Companies like Swank, Glenn O Hawbaker, Palo, IA Construction, Kokosing (from OH!) et. al. Hawbaker has been near bankruptcy for years and during Covid it came out that the company overcharged PA $millions but no criminal charges filed. They keep getting job awards because PennDot "doesn't have enough" contractors of Hawbaker size to let Hawbaker fail and still get all the work done. And who makes $$$$$ political campaign contributions?
PA Uniparty corruption.

Investigation blames unsecure tanker hatch for I-95 inferno/bridge collapse...

Unsecured hatch caused gas to spill in fire that led to deadly I-95 collapse in Philadelphia: report
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Gasoline spilled out from an unsecured hatch on the top of the gasoline delivery tanker that overturned and ignited beneath an Interstate 95 bridge in Philadelphia a year ago, according to new details from federal investigators.
Video evidence obtained by investigators shows the cover to the 16-inch "manhole" was open when driver Nathan Moody arrived at a Wilmington, Delaware, terminal to refill the tank and it was still not properly secured when he drove away to deliver it to a convenience store in Philadelphia, about 42 miles (68 kilometers) away. The crash killed Moody and disrupted transportation along a vital interstate for weeks.
A "origin and cause" report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued in September but made public late Wednesday said the "combined opinion" of its investigators is "that the fire most likely originated when gasoline escaped" from the open manhole as the trailer overturned and nearly 2,500 gallons (9,460 liters) of mixed gasoline and ethanol began to spill out from a section of the tank and ignite.
The findings shed new light on the June 11, 2023, early morning crash that destroyed the bridge beyond repair and shut down the highly traveled north-south artery in both directions for a couple weeks until an interim patch that made use of lightweight glass nuggets was in place. A permanent bridge opened to traffic in November and the highway returned to normal operations last month.
