Pete Buttigieg vows federal help to fix collapsed section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia
Visiting the site where an out-of-control tractor-trailer hauling gasoline flipped over on an Interstate 95 off-ramp and caught fire, Buttigieg said he expected that the accident will put “upward pressure” on costs along the East Coast.
“At the end of the day, there’s no substitute for I-95 being up and running in full working condition,” Buttigieg said.Pennsylvania’s transportation secretary, Michael Carroll, said he expects to release a replacement plan on Wednesday for the roughly 100-foot-long section of I-95. The elevated southbound portion of I-95 will have to be demolished, as well as the northbound side, officials say.
Authorities say the driver was headed northbound, navigating a curving off-ramp when the vehicle went out of control and landed on its side, rupturing the tank.
