Interstate 95 Bridge Collapse In Norwalk, Connecticut!

A tanker caught fire and destroyed an overpass over Interstate 95 in Connecticut.

All the taxpayer money going to Israel should be here at home. The United States has crumbling infrastructure and our stupid lawmakers are willing to shelve billions to aid Israel.

Bridge collapsed in Connecticut.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Ned Lamont, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Rep. Jim Hines (D-CT) were informed of the collapse of an overpass on Interstate 95 in Norwalk.

The senators and Hines voted to ban TikTok and aid Israel with military aid without any conditions. Hines voted to make criticism of Israel illegal. 

All the time wasted could have improved the safety of transporting hazardous materials and fix potholes on one of the country's most busiest freeways.

Norwalk is a midway between New York City and New Haven.

Over 450,000 vehicles travel Interstate 95 from New York to Boston.

Firefighters and hazmat crews are on the scene between Exits 15 and 16 south, where a tractor-trailer crash and fuel spill occurred at around 5:30 a.m

"Emergency Services are working to extinguish a petroleum truck on fire on I95, underneath the Fairfield Ave overpass in Norwalk. I95 is closed in the area," the Norwalk Police Department posted on social media. "This will impact local roads throughout Norwalk for an extended period of time and will create heavy traffic delays."

All lanes of the highway are closed in both directions. Northbound lane closures start at Exit 13 in Darien, according to the Connecticut Department of Transportation. 

Drivers should expect heavy delays on the Merritt Parkway, too, while crews work on the 95 crash. 

Drivers from Bridgeport to Port Chester, New York received text alerts to avoid I-95 and trucking companies were told to use I-87 and I-84 instead, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont said during a briefing on the crash. 

"It involved a tractor-trailer truck, it involved a fuel truck, it involved a passenger automobile. Thank God no serious injuries, but it has resulted in the closing of I-95 North and South and that is incredible in terms of the traffic jams and what's happening there," said Lamont. 

Lamont, on social media, said the area would be closed "for an extended period" as crews investigate the crash and monitor the structural integrity of the overpass.

Scott Hill, chief engineer for Connecticut's DOT, later said the overpass is "stable and safe," but was damaged in the crash and is closed until it can be further assessed.
