After the collapse of the I-95 bridge, government funding and union trade workers came together to rebuild the infrastructure faster than anyone predicted.

When a major I-95 bridge collapsed earlier this year in Philadelphia, experts predicted that it would take months to rebuild, which was unfeasible for such a major roadway. Fortunately, President Joe Biden sent money to support the infrastructure rebuild, and with that financial support, union workers ended up finishing the work in 12 days. Now, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) is implementing a fully funded plan to train thousands more trade workers. The I-95 bridge has become a point of pride for the people and workers of Pennsylvania.
