The section of I-95 that collapsed over a week ago will reopen to traffic this weekend per Gov. Shapiro.
Shapiro made the announcement while providing updates on the rebuilding process during a Tuesday afternoon press conference. He also said temporary lanes of the highway had been completely refilled by a recycled glass aggregate.
Mixed with paper and plastic, bits of glass are the basis of the recycled glass aggregate, which is made by the Delaware County-based company AeroAggregates of North America.
Crews will now lift large outer barriers into place along the new roadway and add a layer of modified subbase to hold those barriers in place, Shapiro said. They expect to complete the east side of the section by Tuesday night and the west side by Wednesday.
The crews will then begin paving three new lanes of the section in both directions, weather permitting. Pennsylvania State Police will escort trucks carrying the pavers up I-95 to make sure they get to the site safely and as quickly as possible, officials said.
