Casino & Hotel Philadelphia is putting the final touches on the 510,000-square-foot development in preparation for its grand opening on Feb. So far, the project has cost more than $20 million, including $4 million for the temporary roadway and $18 million for the permanent roadway unveiled this week. In August, crews began installing steel beams to support the new permanent roadway. Through a coordinated state, local and federal response, a temporary roadway with six lanes of traffic opened 12 days after the collapse. That section of I-95 carries about 160,000 vehicles every day and is a major commercial corridor for the region and beyond. The southbound side was demolished days later. The flames melted the support beams on the northbound side of the bridge, which then collapsed. The vehicle was carrying about 8,500 gallons of fuel, which caught fire when the truck fell on its side. On the morning of June 11, 53-year-old truck driver Nathan Moody lost control of his fuel tanker while navigating the northbound off-ramp.

PennDOT says it plans to reuse the recycled glass material that is currently being used in the temporary roadway for future projects along I-95. The reconstruction project, including rebuilding the lower portion of the Cottman Avenue off-ramp, is expected to be finished next year.
