.GovernorShapiro puts his 'get s*** done' mantra into action -ZitoSalena
Minutes after a tanker truck exploded under a portion of Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania early Sunday morning, Gov. Josh Shapiro was on the phone being briefed by first responders and the state's emergency management agency and transportation department and making plans to be on site as soon it was cleared of safety concerns.
“To chart our progress and give everyone a sense of timing, we’re launching our 24/7 live stream where you can watch I-95 get rebuilt,” Shapiro tweeted. “Government is working for the good people of Pennsylvania.” Shapiro’s response and efficiency in how he has handled this is reminiscent of how former California Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican, handled the swift reconstruction of the nation's busiest highway in April 1994 after the Northridge earthquake knocked down two sections of the world’s busiest thoroughfare — a closure that caused massive delays and bottlenecks for thousands of commuters.
Traffic in and around the area is a labyrinth of slow-moving cars, multiple traffic signs, orange cones, and unfamiliar alternative routes for locals, delivery makers, and travelers alike.
