Given the size of the I-95 collapse and damage, Professor Bechtel expects the repairs to take much longer than Atlanta.
Engineers are busy creating a plan to get the collapsed portion of I-95 rebuilt as quickly as possible.
Giving people hope is a similar incident in Atlanta six years ago, when crews were able to make repairs in less than two months.Investigators say a homeless man sparked the intense blaze after intentionally setting a chair on fire and subsequently igniting combustible materials stored under the highway.
Crews work on a section of an overpass that collapsed from a large fire on Interstate 85 in Atlanta, Friday, March 31, 2017."We design stuff to be reliable and this is odd and unreliable. It's happened in the past. But if you consider bridge fires that happened, compare it to a home fire or building fire, there's way, way, less of those," said Andrew Bechtel, a civil engineering professor at The College of New Jersey.
