Pennsylvania using tons of recycled glass nuggets to rebuild collapsed Interstate 95 

Stop hatin

They already said the federal is paying

@@theqz08 Hi , NOT SO BRIGHT. The feds don't pay anything. THE WORKING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS PAY FOR IT

@@theqz08😂 how? The Federal gov is broke and any money they print goes straight to Ukraine or housing illegals

Then theyll get a bwack expert from drexel to make some irrelevant excuse. "It b cuz da paint"

Is Atlanta run by the unions? If not, that's why it got done so well. Nothing gets done in Philly unless and until the unions get their bribe.

@@bwofficial1776without the unions, nothing in that city would operate. Who else do you expect to repair/build anything, BLM? Gangs? The addicts of Kensington? 😂

Well if theres any time when its appropriate to throw enough money at something its when a major interstate bridge collapses. I85 in ATL is a textbook example. Once the long term temp fix is up and running the next thing people will question is the rapid curing concrete they will likely use to build the new spans. Its not that quicker is more unsafe. its simply more expensive.

I'm sure the unions started working out who was getting a cut and how much as soon as the truck caught on fire.

@@bwofficial1776 Yeah, the building trades have already started grandstanding.

Lotsa palms gonna get cocoa buttered

It's be gold nuggets by the time the bill comes in

Brianmathew09. I never said my idea was "perfect". I would assume they would keep an eye on the "temporary" road and make adjustments to it daily after midnight as needed.😀😀😀😀

What is going to hold the fill in place, or how will it be held in place? Will it be a repeat of the I-295 wall collapse in NJ?

@@jm-bv1wh Probably

And another inexperienced angry bwack speeding truck driver will crash into that bridge too. The problem is the subhumans, not the compacting road.

​@Notallowed Tobehonest I'm a Truck driver myself. You could be right or wrong. The guy could have lost his brakes. If you turn a loaded tanker to fast it can roll over. Stopping a tanker takes longer because of the gas pushing the truck. Who knows. It's sad either way

That's not a bad idea.

The method they are using is just a "solid" box. I suggested it 2 days B 4 they decided to implement my idea. You have a good idea too. I'm thinking they figured they could remove the fill easier a little at a time as they permanently repair the H/Way. Removing "part" of a timber trestle as they go would be dangerous/not safe.😄😄😄

Yes, make the bridge from glass. Must be from the same drexel genius who blamed this on paint....

@@notallowedtobehonest2539 .... you do realize this is the same glass they use as "cheap filler" for blacktop roadways. right? They use it instead of gravel... or mixed with gravel.

@@rupe53 i live here. Blacktop roadways are pothole ridden hellscapes.

@@notallowedtobehonest2539 ... every road product is subject to potholes, but blacktop is cheaper by a long shot and goes down quicker. You get what you pay for. In this case it's all about quick / easy / cheap, because it's only going to be there for a short time.

@@notallowedtobehonest2539 What part of "emergency temporary repair" don't you understand?

In other contries ppl eat other ppl too. Whats your point? The angry speeding bwack animals will destroy anything you build there.

@@notallowedtobehonest2539 what happens there happens all over the world I'm sure someone is smoking crack over there as well I made that statement because plastic is better it expanse in the cold etc they even have plastic roads, sounds crazy but it's true. Honestly everything is recycled Today's Honda Accord will be recycled into tomorrow's Ferrari or Maybach people waste 10 grand on a Gucci suit which will be recycled into tomorrow's bedsheet and sold at Walmart for $20

yeah use scabs and watch it back to needing repairs in no time. What a tool

The unions have already told Shapiro how much of a cut they want and how to pay it. He could have found a non-union company that will do it faster, cheaper, and better.

They're already several days ahead of schedule on demolition.

Did you know something the governor didn't? 1:39 The governor did not "offer the timeline". "the planned completion date"? Where is it?

the are rock solid. 🥁

The found the south bound section to be structurally damaged by the fire. So they had to demolish it.

they could have diverted the northbound traffic onto the adjacent exit entrance ramp shored up the southbound bridge then hopscotched the traffic as they do with any bridge replacement their plan stinks

@@TheHopelessGuy275 Yeah. My idea works to get 95 open in days instead of months.

Dang, everybody is an engineer.

LOL 😂, RU-vid experts.

that glass is originally made from sand... and sand is basically crumpled rock.... and that's what the earth is made with.

It will settle down in the long run either by weathering and the weight of heavy traffic. It sounds the cheapest way for a quick fix instead of using steel structures more costly and more time?

@@abcd60528 ... of course it will settle, but I'd bet there's an engineer or two on the job that can come up with the percentage over the 6-12 weeks this temporary fill is needed. Just over-fill a few inches to start and in time it may be a little low, but still acceptable. Worst case is they add another 1-2" of blacktop or put up some "DIP" signs for a few weeks.

@@rupe53have you ever seen foam that doesn’t compress?

@@rupe53unless the fill bursts loose somehow out of its containment and the unreinforced blacktop surface just caves in like a sink hole

Used in many kitchens to scour the grills. My dad used it as underground insulation in 1958.

No, he did not. It was a washed out 2-lane section of road that they filled in. And it carried vacationers and residents, with no heavy truck traffic.

It was a 2-lane road to a bridge to a island where rich people lived, so of course it was a priority for him. It was a temp fix and not safe for long term used and will have to be re-built at some point.

DeSantis is a Republican he don't want nothing to do with ya democrats 💯🤣🤣

His ass can stay where he is

HE SURE DID !!!

Not fer nuthin' but this game plan has been used many times over the years. I bet they have traffic flowing on 95 in 2-4 weeks. If they get the center 6 lanes going then they can work on the outer 2 lanes as the steel shows up, then work toward the center. Of course, this presumes the abutments test ok and don't need to be rebuilt as well.

Fireproofing the underside of bridges is ridiculously expensive, the chance of a major fire under a bridge is very low.

@@davidnull5590 ... fireproofing steel outside also causes major rust issues because it holds moisture.

It looks to me Jimmy that you can't see the bigger picture. You seem to think this I 95 is simply for Philadelphians with your suggestion of staggering employment, bussing, etc.Any idea what that gap in I 95 is also costing the east coast from Florida To Main and the USA as a whole every day?? The loss in commerce in just one week can cover the "temporary" repair offsetting by far the cost of temporary repairs. Traffic was backed up over 7 miles on detour streets for I 95. Your comment there will still be heavy traffic where there "always" was heavy traffic is ridiculous. It will be slowed because they will start the permanent repair right away. When were you ever on a major H/Way where work is being done and traffic was not slowed??! Do you think the 7 miles or more of backed up traffic has any effect on Fire and other first responders in the City? I 95 opened sooner then later is a must so RELAX.....In any case, I would rather see the money wasted here in the USA then sent to the Ukraine and wasted.

Tuck646, Look the word "Temporary" up in the dictionary. They will remove the "temporary" fill as they "permanently" replace the gap in the H/ Way thus "re-opening" the "temporarily" closed exit ramps.
