Utility crews have begun removing part of the bridge and repaving the roadway near Exit 15 where the fiery crash happened. The aim is to reopen all six lanes of traffic on I-95 by Monday, but there's been no confirmation on whether that will happen.

I-95 from New York to New Haven has been a disaster from its very beginning. One of the engineers who designed the original I-95/I 91 connection in New Haven was killed in a crash there shortly after it's opening. I was one of first on the scene one early morning at the I-95/25/8 connection in Bridgeport when a tanker went down the embankment and burst into flames. . A state trooper and I ran down the embankment and stood in horror as we heard the screams of the driver burning to death. No way could we reach him. The signage on I-95 from NY State line designated it as East and West until a 6th grader wrote a letter to the Editor mentioning that it was actually a North South Highway. But the real scandal was when George W. Bush demanded that the highway markers outside of New Haven stating that it was his birth place be removed. They were.

@americanbeauty4015 9 дней назад

They need to build yet another highway, it's always a nightmare no matter which way you go

@oscarjohnson9156 9 дней назад

@@americanbeauty4015 They need to build better and faster mass transit. One bus can take the place of 30 or 40 cars. The New Haven Commuter RR to NYC now carries about 65,000 persons into NYC that's at least 30,000 cars. Average time 60 minutes from New Haven. Average time by car 2 to 3 hours.

Good reporting, and flat-out amazing that they took the overpass down in a matter of hours. Why no mention here or elsewhere though on the drivers involved? In the five news pieces that I have watched on this event, there has been no mention at all of the condition of the drivers involved. Did they live? Did they die? Who were they? And why no mention of them?

The replacement bridge should be all-steel and modular like military bridging for much easier maintenance and rapid future replacement in hours instead of days. No exotic tech required. Many WWII Bailey bridges are in use to this day. All US infrastructure should be designed for rapid repair, replacement and recycling because the cost of doing that is a trifle compared to the economic cost of disruption.
