Bridge collapse in Philadelphia

[caroln]

I95 closed due to collapse of a bridge.

Yes I saw this on CNN , bad deal for monday morning traffic!!!

 

[Mike]

Oh dear, how did that happen, I wonder!

The opposite carriageway, must be suspect too, plus every
crossing put in place by the same company, or any that used
the same concrete plant to make the section.

By the silence of comment, I assume that nobody was injured,
I hope.

Something about a tanker truck caught fire under the bridge of I-95 causing an explosion and the bridge collapsed. Probably be more details coming, if the media can tell us the truth.

 

[Mike]

Thank you for the clarification, "Been There", I thought
that there must be a weakness.

Mike.

 

[Tish]

Wow!

 

[wcwbf]

I-95 is closed indefinitely in both directions. gonna be a traffic nightmare for MONTHS.

 

[chic]

That route extends to where I live.

 

[hearlady]

Yikes! That is going to cause big problems.
That happened in Atlanta not long ago. Something caught fire under the overpass.

 

[wcwbf]

a little correction. actually NOT a bridge but an overpass. seems driver of truck that crashed/burned was only fatality. it'll be MONTHS of traffic headaches in that area. one news they gave a figure of something over 150,000 vehicles going over that stretch every day.

I live just south of there. Giong to be ugly for a while.
