Today Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro issued a disaster declaration as a result of the collapse of a segment of I-95 Sunday morning.
From the Office of the Governor or Pennsylvania’s Facebook post:
To expedite the rebuilding of I-95 and cut through the red tape, I issued a disaster declaration allowing the Commonwealth to immediately draw down federal funds and move quickly to begin the repair and reconstruction process.
My Administration is in regular contact with our federal partners, who have pledged their complete support and assistance as we create alternative routes and rebuild I-95.
We are all hands on deck to repair I-95 as safely and as efficiently as possible.
