This bridge is about a mile from where I live and will impact access to I-95 (especially northbound) & PHL big time.

These bridges get inspected once a year. How did it manage to deteriorate so badly in a year's span that it required a closure? That simply isn't normal.

Yep, another bridgemageddon (this one of the half variety, and I'm looking at you, L.A.). Memphis had a full one last year with I-40. North Jersey had its half one with the Pulaski Skyway. The Newark, DE area is currently having a full one where Otts Chapel Rd. crosses I-95.
Philly's biggest bridgemageddon may have been 40 years ago when the Platt Bridge (PA 291) was closed for three years for redecking. It reopened at the same time the missing link of I-95 opened.
