Description
The  Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation officials reopened early March 20 a 3-mile section of I-95 near Philadelphia, after two days. Contractor J.D. Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, Pa.,  began repairing a steel-reinforced 15-ft-tall column that had a 2-inch-wide, 6-ft-long crack. Workers on Tuesday (3/18/08) morning erected four steel towers to surround and support the pillar while it was repaired. PennDOT engineers initially closed two miles of the heavily traveled stretch of roadway, then increased the closed section to three miles. Workers erected four steel towers to surround and support the bridge.
