Pennsylvania governor says collapsed part of I-95 in Philly will reopen within 2 weeks

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said Saturday that the collapsed stretch of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia will reopen within two weeks, a timeline expected to please both commuters and long-haul truckers.

"We are getting it done here in Philly," Shapiro said at a news briefing at Philadelphia International Airport after himself, President Biden, members of Congress and Philadelphia's mayor took a helicopter tour over the critical segment of the highway closed to East Coast traffic since last weekend.

Biden outlined the substantial initial federal commitment and longer-term support for a permanent solution to the highway. He said he is aware of the importance this stretch of roadway is to Philadelphia and the Northeast Corridor.
