The collapsed stretch of I-95 is reopening sooner than expected, per FOX 29 sources. The highway will reopen noon Friday.
PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll says teams have been working on the rebuilding process and thinking outside of the box to get the interstate back open. "We, PennDOT, have approached this challenge and our partners in the city, we wanted to think outside the box. We wanted to make sure that we employed every strategy we could think of to try and get I-95 open in both directions," Carroll said.
To combat the inclement weather and continue working on the interstate, the Shapiro Administration has enlisted the help of Ricky Durst and the Pocono Raceway. Durst says the in ideal situations, the dryer stays in the garage on-site, but it is used to keep tracks dry after rain. "We'd ask folks to be extra careful and so that we can all continue not to have to use these detours as we go forward. The lines are 11-feet wide. A traditional lane is 12 feet, but it is very common in work zones to have an 11-foot wide lane," Carroll said. "It's not ideal, but it's the best that we can do and it does provide a safe traveling option for the motoring public.
