Damaged Highway Reopens Days After Fire

From Times Wire Reports

Northbound lanes on a stretch of one of the nation’s busiest highways reopened, well ahead of schedule and three days after a fire partially melted an overpass.

Construction workers cheered as cars, escorted by police, traveled on Interstate 95 for the first time since last week’s crash of a tanker truck filled with heating oil.

The more heavily damaged southbound lanes were expected to reopen Thursday.
