As the Delaware Valley is set to see a long stretch of rainy days, Governor Josh Shapiro says the state has a plan to finish reconstruction on I-95 by the weekend despite the weather. That plan involves the use of a NASCAR jet dryer from Pocono Raceway.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro joins "Good Day Philadelphia" to discuss how construction will continue on I-95 despite rain.Officials in Pennsylvania confirmed Wednesday that Interstate 95 will reopen this weekend, less than two weeks after a gasoline tanker crash and fire caused the roadway to collapse.
A section of the northbound lanes of the elevated highway collapsed early June 11 after a tractor-trailer hauling gasoline flipped over on an off-ramp and caught fire. State transportation officials said the driver, who was killed, lost control around a curve. The resulting damage necessitated demolition of the southbound lanes as well, officials said.
"This weekend, our commuters will finally be able to set their Monday morning alarm clocks back to the regular time, because they won't have to spend extra time in detours," the governor said. "We need, sort of, patches of dry time in order to complete paving and really more importantly, the striping process. So, get this. We reached out to our friends at Pocono Raceway and I'm a big NASCAR guy, so is our amazing PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll," Shapiro said. "They are bringing in today, the jet dryer that's used along the Pocono Raceway track to jet dry this section of I-95 to allow us to do the paving and striping together.
