Pennsylvania State Police said a body recovered from the wreckage has been turned over to the Philadelphia medical examiner and coroner.
The accident also disrupted the automotive route from Canada to Florida through the Boston, New York and Washington metropolitan areas, increasing Americans’ dependence on air travel and on the interstate rail network.
Carroll said the highway span was 10 to 12 years old, had appeared sound and they blamed the damage on the heat of the fire, which took about an hour to control.saying it gives state agencies the ability to skip normal bidding-and-contracting requirements so the span can be repaired faster.“I found myself thanking the Lord that no motorists who were on I-95 were injured or died,” he said.
Shapiro, a Democrat, said the complete rebuild of I-95 would take “some number of months,” and in the meantime officials were looking at “interim solutions to reconnect I-95 and get traffic through the area.” “You can’t go online to Amazon and order it and have it delivered the next day,” said Schofer, who also hosts a podcast on infrastructure.
