UPDATE: PennDOT ended the I-95 livestream after the temporary roadway opened for traffic on June 23, just 12 days after the bridge collapse. For more updates, visit PennDOT.pa.gov.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A livestream to watch the work to repair I-95 in Philadelphia is now online if you want to check it out.
Crews are working to repair I-95 after a tanker truck hauling gasoline crashed and caught fire last Sunday, causing a portion of the highway to collapse.
UPDATE: Collapsed portion of I-95 will reopen within 2 weeks, Shapiro says
Traffic is now being diverted around the closed-off portion of the highway.
Meanwhile, workers are working around the clock at the collapse site. They cleared out the old lanes and then, began filling in the gap with a material made from recycled glass by Delaware County-based Aero Aggregates.
That bed of recycled material is being topped off with a temporary roadway to get traffic moving again.
The stream showed crews starting to pave the lanes on the temporary roadway.
How to watch the I-95 construction livestream
As promised in a news conference, you can now watch the construction live 24/7 on PennDOT's website.
We've also got the stream playing at the top of this article.
Social media users joked that bars should start hosting watch parties or keep this on a TV so patrons can see the progress. Not a bad idea!
