Office of the Governor of Pennsylvania 

I’ve been briefed by PA Emergency Management Agency, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), and PA State Police on the I-95 fire and collapse in Philadelphia.

State Police and PEMA are on the scene assisting local first responders and PA Secretary of Transportation and his team are en route to assess the situation and address traffic needs.

Lt. Governor Austin Davis and I are closely coordinating with partners in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and the federal government and we will share more information as we have it.

For now, please avoid the area and follow the direction of the first responders on the scene.
