Law of averages?
Weren't the others I-85/Georgia and I-10/Cali?
A couple of theories: (1) incidents on I-95 naturally get more attention because it goes straight through the densely packed Northeast corridor where any incident will draw widespread attention from the business/government/media complex in NYC/DC; and (2) because it carries an insane amount of traffic and there aren't that many viable alternatives, any big accidents and closures become regional and even national events.
Well, it looks like CTDOT will have to replace the bridge with Federal Emergency money.

Yet another incident caused by an entity and yet somehow the taxpayers will pay for it.
Honestly, I'd be posting detour notices on all the VMSs in both directions between NYC and Boston.
Commercial vehicles now have to use I-87 to I-90 to reach either destination.

Right?! Whenever this shit happens, whoever is responsible should pay for it.

The responsible party's/parties' insurer(s) will, I assume, cut a check to the state. However, I expect that cleanup and repair costs will exceed the available insurance, and the time/cost of attempting to pursue recovery for the excess from the responsible partie(s) will eat up much of any potential recovery.

Exactly. My state has had multiple instances of trucks wailing on overpasses too low for their overheight loads, and not only are they not paying the state doesn't even repair them for years.
https://www.wcvb.com/article/two-lanes-restored-around-roosevelt-circle-after-bridge-struck-by-truck/37115795
Case in point, truck hit overpass three years ago with an overheight load that was specifically routed to avoid it, and three years later no repairs have been made. It looks like ass and I'm waiting for someone to defeat the jersey barrier and land on I-93 underneath.
I'm completely amazed that the cab for the tanker didn't burn out.

Not only viable, but preferred. It amazes me how many news segments I've seen that can't seem to get the interstate detour correct...
Going Northbound from Port Chester, NY: 287 West -> 684 North -> 84 East -> 691 East -> 91 South
New Haven to Port Chester along 95 is 48 miles. The detour I outlined is about 100 mi. I live just north of Norwalk, the gridlock yesterday in/around the area of the accident was wild. Another problem is that our local and state roads in this part of CT aren't very truck friendly. Dated infrastructure, such as low underpasses, substandard lane widths, odd intersection geometry, and poor signage aren't helping.
Didn't the state plan on building an expressway along the route of CT-34 from the danbury area to New Haven during its road-building bonanza?

You are probably better off cutting over to I-81 if possible if coming from MD and points south to take I-84 anywhere into New England right now.
Can't wait to see the first trucker try the Merritt Pkwy as an alternative. At least they'll learn quickly that it's not just a violation of law, it's a violation of physics.

Agreed that I-84 is by far the preferred alternative. Another thing that might surprise some is that I-95 is NOT the fastest route from NYC to Boston. I-95/I-91/I-84 is not only faster, it's almost entirely six lanes. Factoring that in, a significant portion (>50%) of I-95 through traffic in southern CT is bound for I-91/I-84 anyways, so all that traffic could just continue on to I-91 north and would not have to return to I-95 at all.
I don't think using I-81 to I-84 would be necessary unless you're starting well inland from I-95. Any traffic originating south and west of NYC could just use I-287 in NJ, then decide based on traffic conditions whether to take I-287/I-684 (congestion-prone through Rockland/Westchester) or I-87 NB to I-84 (usually clear outside of weekend/holiday traffic).
I'm not usually big on conspiracy theories, but this is the 3rd incident in less than a year where an Interstate Highway has been closed by a fire-induced bridge collapse, in addition to that ship collapsing the bridge in Baltimore.

The good news is that the bridge that was damaged wasn't one that carries I-95 itself. If they can expedite the removal of the damaged bridge, I would think they could reopen I-95 pretty quickly while they work on rebuilding the overpass.

Yes, but that concept died at least 42-45 years ago. There is / was a directional interchange on 84, believe the old number was possibly Exit 25. That interchange may have been removed and replaced with something less high powered. Haven't been up there in over 15 years. That was supposed to have been the western terminus of the CT - 34 expressway. Would have been a useful connection. They should have extended the "urban' CT- 34 section in New Haven a lot sooner, that might have made a push to complete it more possible. Instead, the urban section was cut back, and a biomedical firm was allowed to build directly in the ROW. Bad planning.

I don't want to sound crazy, but 9/11 and COVID happened during my lifetime and a foreign government trying to sabotage America's transportation infrastructure wouldn't be the weirdest thing that's happened.
Having clinched I-95 I can understand the subliminal attraction towards burning it into the ground.

The "high speed interchange" on I-84 is Exit 11, in Newtown, and that was built for the CT 25 expressway, which currently ends in Trumbull. The first exit off that road from the north would have been CT 34, but as a surface road. The CT 34 expressway extension west of New Haven would have had it meet up with the existing 4-lane section in West Haven, though that section is more of a boulevard. There were plans for some sort of expressway from Ridgefield to Shelton, according to Kurumi's page on CT 34, but I don't believe any work towards such an expressway was ever performed.
https://www.kurumi.com/roads/ct/ct34.html
Having taken CT 34 from I-84 to I-95 numerous times, it would've been nice to have some sort of connection between the two, in limited-access form. One of my first jobs as a surveyor back in 1999 was the Stevenson Dam project, a sizeable choke-point on that route, especially for tractor trailers. Its been 25 years and there's been zero progress made on replacing that dam bride (it litterally is a dam bridge).

Okkam razor. Why would a foreign government do something Americans are enthusiastically doing themselves? Just make sure truck driving becomes a shitty low wage job...

I did not notice any increased commercial traffic on I-84, in either direction, between Hartford and Vernon, today.

Oh, it most definitely has! Riding around in a big rig for the past month at my new job, I'm noticing just how many drivers are on their phones or severely distracted while driving. Not to mention the excessive speed (80 MPH in the left lane isn't fast enough), the cut-from-far-left-lane to the far right lane across 3-4 lanes at the last possible second, or the weaving in and out of lanes without any blinker or barely a look.
My brother was in the far left lane of I-95 somewhere down by Fairfield way a couple weeks ago, and got passed by someone on the left... yup, the left. The shoulder. Last time I checked... that's not a travel lane. But someone would rather risk the life everyone on the road just to get to their destination 2 minutes quicker.
What scares me even more, especially in CT, is all the wrong-way driver incidents that have been happening in the past 1-2 years. Do people not know how to read english? Are they just not paying attention? Is it the fact that drivers are more under the influence of (insert drug/alcohol here) than they were in the past? Now, a lot of DOT projects is going towards wrong-way preventitive measures, since the bigger signs they put up aren't cutting it. Now ramps are getting flashing red lights that are activated if a driver is going the wrong way.

Having been in a big rig (though as a passenger), I noticed something: so many people slow way down to turn right. Nothing's obstructing your way, why are you slowing down that much?!

Well, anecdotal evidence is an increase of bridge strike rates around me. Governor actually agrees with me: https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/new-york-seeks-stop-increasing-bridge-strikes-18470183.php
On a more general side, there is a demand for workers with better working conditions and ever-so-close self-driving vehicles making CDL a bad career choice.
Another thing I don't know how accurate is a saying that plenty of problems are caused by drivers who neither speak English nor used to imperial units.

I do this sometimes out of necessity - I have something in the car that requires me to slow down so it doesn't tip, roll, maybe there's a bump, etc. But 99% of the time there's generally no reason to slow down *that* much.

It's one thing to slow down to make a right turn, it's another to not signal, or signal
after they're slowing down... or at their turn-off.

It actually may have, if only because when demand for shipping goods cratered in 2020 a lot of truckers went ahead and retired or left the industry. This then created a shortage of truckers when demand rocketed back, which has since abated but it means the average trucker on the road has fewer years' experience than was the case five years ago, and many of those younger truckers were rushed through training because there was a shortage that urgently needed filling.
The shortage when demand rocketed back of truckers
with hazmat certifications specifically was extra acute, which is part of what contributed to gas prices staying stubbornly high for a while in 2021-23.

And usually it's a combination of multiple or all of those choices.

That would be 'Northbound'. It's now open. The NB lanes took way less damage, since the tanker was on the Southbound lanes.

Damaged bridge was removed and I-95 reopened both ways 80 hours after the fire. Bridge will take a year to replace.
any replacement structure really ought to have greater horizontal clearance. At least one of the backwalls was damaged by heat would imagine.

Agreed. Design a longer structure in case CTDOT gets around to widening I-95 through that area at some point.
It looks like the center support is going to be different this time instead of the pillars it's going to be a single piece.
Looks like they're moving very quickly to get the Fairfield Avenue bridge over I-95 rebuilt. The traffic camera on I-95 southbound at Stuart Avenue shows structural steel now in place for the new Fairfield Avenue overpass. I'm thinking the new overpass will be finished before winter sets in.
Replacement bridge is completed and open for traffic now! And supposedly under budget!
