A truck carrying an oversized load struck the Conrail Bridge on I-95 North in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section around 1:30 p.m. Monday afternoon, causing significant structural damage and leading to major traffic delays. The incident prompted emergency crews to work on repairs and caused the closure of a portion of I-95 North for several days, starting at 9 p.m. Monday. The closure affects the area between Exit 22 and Exit 26, with PennDOT advising motorists to seek alternate routes. No injuries have been reported, but the accident has disrupted some rail services and snarled the Monday evening commute.
