Lancaster County company forging steel to build permanent I-95 bridge fix

Описание: A local company is helping with the permanent fix to a section of I-95 in Philadelphia after a section of the highway collapsed in June when a tanker truck crashed into the underpass and caught on fire.

After the incident, crews worked 24 hours a day to build a temporary road and get traffic flowing again within 12 days.

The day after the collapse, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a disaster declaration that allowed PennDOT to fast-track normal regulations around contracting construction work.

Pennsylvania companies immediately began work for the reconstruction. Cleveland Cliffs Steel Mill in Coatesville, Chester County is providing steel to High Steel Structures in East Lampeter Twp., Lancaster County.

On Aug. 7, Gov. Shapiro and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis attended an event at High Steel Structures to highlight the accelerated permanent reconstruction. They both signed the first completed steel beam, also known as a girder. In total, the bridge will require 16 girders and 56 crossbeams.
