I'm so excited for this! I missed the fund-raiser they had there, but I always thought it had an incredible name and such a cool piece of history.

So glad to see things I've seen in other cities for 20 years finally make it to Septa!

LazarusLost, 11 months ago in I-95 collapse: Officials announce plan to backfill, pave damaged Philadelphia section to open temporary path

So I guess that exit just won't exist anymore! Interesting way to get it filled quickly.

I wonder if they’ll dig it back out again later for the permanent bridge.

Yeah I saw the plan is to finish the 6 temporary lanes on the inside then build the permanent bridges from the outside in. Once the sides are done traffic will move to the permanent outside lanes then they’ll dig out the middle and finish the inside.
