Back in 2023…The Cottman Avenue exit on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia is notable for a significant incident that occurred in June 2023. A tanker truck carrying flammable cargo caught fire near the Cottman Avenue exit, leading to a partial collapse of the highway. This event caused extensive delays and road closures, impacting traffic in the northeast corner of the city. The fire was reported to be under control, but the northbound lanes of I-95 were gone, and the southbound lanes were compromised due to the heat from the fire. The collapse occurred between the Woodhaven and Aramingo exits, and the road closure was expected to last for several months.
