PA Emergency Management Agency says it will take months to fully repair I-95

According to Molly Dougherty with PA Emergency Management Agency, a truck carrying a petroleum product caught on fire under I-95 before 6:30 AM Sunday, June 11. The northbound lane collapsed and the southbound lane is impassable. I-95 is shut down in both directions. 

Dougherty says the cause of the incident is under investigation. 

PA Emergency Management is working with The City of Philadelphia to establishing detours. The city is relying on mass transit to compensate for the loss of the I-95 corridor.

Preliminary estimates determine it will take months to repair the damage. 

Penn DOT has established a Website for updates on this incident, further updates from the state will be shared here:  https://www.penndot.pa.gov/RegionalOffices/district-6/Pages/AlertDetails.aspx
