The section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia that collapsed following a truck fire on June 11 will reopen within two weeks, Pennsylvania’s governor says.

“I can state with confidence that we will have I-95 reopened within the next two weeks,” Gov. Josh Shapiro told reporters at a briefing with President Joe Biden at Philadelphia International Airport. “We are going to get traffic moving again, thanks to the extraordinary work of those here and our incredible union trade workers.”
