Less than two weeks after the collapse of a portion of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia, the vital regional road reopened to traffic thanks to state and federal leaders’ efforts to fast-track the rebuilding project.

“Let this serve as an example of how Pennsylvania can do big things,” Pennsylvania Josh Gov. Shapiro said at a news conference ahead of the reopening. “When we come together, when we’re determined, we can get stuff done.”
