All permanent lanes of I-95 in the Northeast are set to reopen, less than a year after the deadly crash that caused the highway to collapse. The four permanent southbound lanes opened overnight. The northbound side is expected to open early Friday morning, just in time for the holiday weekend. Gov. Josh Shapiro and top state and federal highway officials will be on Cottman Avenue Thursday morning to commemorate it.

The highway collapsed last June when a tanker truck crashed on an underpass and burst into flames. The driver was killed and the highway collapsed, but crews were able to open temporary lanes just 12 days later.
