After the area is backfilled, it will be paved to allow motorists to return to the road as a separate bridge is built. Pennsylvania will truck in 2,000 tons of lightweight glass nuggets to help quickly rebuild a collapsed section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia and crews will work 24 hours a day until they can reopen the critical commercial artery, officials said Wednesday."This approach will allow us to avoid delays through the shipment and supply chain issues and pursue a simple, quicker path," Shapiro said.
