The section of Interstate 95 that was shut down a week ago after a fiery tanker crash was fully reopened in time for the morning commute.
Crews built a temporary bridge to replace an overpass that was destroyed by the crash.
The section of I-95 -- the main highway between New York and Boston -- was heavily damaged when a tanker truck carrying heating oil struck a concrete barrier March 25 and burst into flames. The fire burned for two hours at temperatures hot enough to cause the structural steel in the overpass to sag.
