What is it with I-95 & bridge fires?

Looks like it should be open by 10AM the live feed has been cut

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.

There's a jersey barrier, 3 or 4 feet of flat concrete, then the wall. Seems adequate.

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!
