An elevated section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia has collapsed following damage caused by a tanker truck carrying flammable cargo catching Fire. The fire closed a heavily traveled segment of the East Coast’s main north-south highway indefinitely. Drivers have been advised to avoid peak travel times and warned of extensive delays and street closures. The northbound lanes of I-95 were gone and the southbound lanes were “compromised” by heat from the fire. The collapsed section of I-95 carries roughly 160,000 vehicles per day and was likely the busiest interstate in Pennsylvania.
