And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

All right. Today is Wednesday, the 19th of June. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. The collapsed stretch of interstate 95 in Philadelphia will reopen within two weeks.

Pennsylvania's governor said Saturday after joining President Joe Biden on a helicopter tour over the critical stretch of highway closed to East Coast traffic since last weekend.

We are getting it done here in Philly. Governor Josh Shapiro said at a briefing at the Philadelphia International Airport after the flyover that included members of Congress and the city's mayor.

Biden said there is no more important project going on right now as far as he is concerned.

We're with you. We're going to stay with you until the work is totally finished.

When this initially happened, I thought even like temporary, I was thinking six months or something like that.

The fact that they can have something in place in two weeks, that's pretty damn sad.

Not only were you getting a bridge, I quickly, I've just found my new favorite show.

Work site. The streaming video is pretty fascinating.

Shapiro said with Biden at his side, I can state with confidence that we will have I-95

reopened within the next two weeks. Biden also announced the federal government will reimburse

100% of the work for the next 200 days, followed by 90%. This will help expedite the rebuilding process

and cover the cost of union workers. I grew up not very far from here just across the line and claim on Delaware.

I know how important this stretch of highway is, not just to Philly, but the entire East Coast corridor, Biden said.

The stretch of the East Coast main north-south highway collapsed early last Sunday after a tractor trailer hauling gasoline,

flipped over on the off ramp and caught fire. State transportation officials said the driver was trying to navigate a curve and lost control.

I wonder if this is how much further you could go.

Let's say if the chunk was 35, 40 feet longer, would it be impossible to do a patch like this?

Or where does this fall in feasibility?
