US DOT Announces $3 Million In “Quick Release” Emergency Relief Funding To Rebuild I-95 In Philadelphia
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration today announced the immediate availability of $3 million in “quick release” Emergency Relief funds for use as a down payment by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to offset costs of repair work on a section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia that collapsed as the result of a gasoline tanker truck fire. More funding is available through the FHWA’s Emergency Relief program.
Over the last several days, Secretary Buttigieg, Under Secretary for Transportation Carlos Monje, and Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt have visited the site to view the damage and meet with state and local officials and labor leaders. The funding will be used towards maintaining emergency operations and detour routes for a structure that normally carries about 160,000 vehicles on average each day, the demolition of damaged structures, and emergency repairs to restore essential traffic. PennDOT can also proceed with preliminary engineering, surveys and design as part of plans to perform the permanent restoration work and rebuild that section of I-95.
