How much the I-95 collapse in Philadelphia cost to repair

Driving the news: Workers are putting the final touches on the project to fully restore the highway, expected to be completed this summer, PennDOT spokesperson Brad Rudolph tells Axios.

• Repairs have cost $16.7 million so far, including nearly $5 million on a temporary fix enabling the highway to reopen to traffic less than two weeks after the collapse, Rudolph said. The federal government is covering most of that amount.
• PennDOT will update the cost after the project is complete.

Catch up quick: Gov. Josh Shapiro declared an emergency following the collapse, which took the life of trucker Nathaniel Moody.

• Officials expected it would take months to fix the highway, used by more than 160,000 vehicles daily.

• But traffic flowed again 12 days later after crews worked around the clock to construct a temporary six-lane bridge out of recyclable glass material.

By the numbers: The rebuild has taken roughly 47,556 hours to complete, per PennDOT, with crews using:

• 900 linear feet of piping
• 2,150 cubic yards of concrete
• 275 tons of steel, and
• 120 tons of rebar

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to reflect that the I-95 restoration project will be complete this summer (not this month).
