Fixing the I-95 bridge in Philly after it caught fire and collapsed last year. — On June 11, 2023, a tanker truck carrying gasoline caught fire beneath the overpass that carries Interstate 95 at an interchange in the Tacony neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia. The extreme heat caused the northbound lanes to collapse and damaged the southbound lanes, closing roughly nine miles (14 km) of both directions of I-95. The swift construction of a temporary roadway enabled traffic to resume on June 23rd, less than two weeks after the fire. — These are some of the final steps of reconstruction caught by Billy Kyle on his drone.
