NOW on NBC10: The latest details on the fire and collapse on I-95:
Shortly before 9 a.m., Philadelphia Fire Department Captain Derrick Bowmer said the northbound lanes of I-95 were gone and the southbound lanes were"compromised" by heat and fire. Runoff from the fire or perhaps broken gas lines caused explosions underground, he added.Firefighters eventually brought the flames under control but remained at the scene throughout the day.
Most drivers traveling the I-95 corridor between Delaware and New York City use the New Jersey Turnpike rather than the segment of interstate where the collapse occurred. Until 2018, drivers did not have a direct highway connection between I-95 in Pennsylvania and I-95 in New Jersey. They had to use a few miles of surface roads, with traffic lights, to get from one to the other.
Motorists were sent on a 43-mile detour, which was going “better than it would do on a weekday," Rudolph said. The fact that the collapse happened on a Sunday helped ease congestion, but he expected traffic"to back up significantly on all the detour areas.” After a sheen was seen in the Delaware River near the collapse site, the Coast Guard deployed a boom to contain the material. Ensign Josh Ledoux said the tanker had a capacity of 8,500 gallons, but the contents did not appear to be spreading into the environment.
