The missing stretch of I-95 will be filled with 'recycled glass' material made in Pennsylvania, officials announced.
On Wednesday, Governor Josh Shapiro announced the demolition of the southbound lanes, which were found to be unsafe after the collapse of the northbound lanes, will be completed by Thursday.
Officials did not give a specific timeframe for when the roadway is expected to reopen for motorists. Pennsylvania State Police will escort the necessary materials, including the "specially designed Pennsylvania-made fill" that is "recycled glass aggregate" being used to fill the gap, from Delaware County to I-95 beginning on Thursday.
