Interstate 95 in Philadelphia is set to reopen to traffic less than two weeks after a deadly collapse shut down a heavily travelled stretch of the East Coast’s main north-south highway.

Workers were putting the finishing touches on an interim six-lane roadway that will serve motorists during construction of a permanent bridge.
