Traffic snarled as workers begin removing bridge over I-95 following truck fire in Connecticut

Workers have begun removing a bridge over a Connecticut highway that was damaged in a fiery crash involving a gasoline tanker truck. The demolition that began Friday morning is expected to keep both sides of Interstate 95 in Norwalk closed through the weekend and extend a traffic nightmare on the major artery linking New England and New York. Gov. Ned Lamont says the hope is to reopen the highway by Monday morning. Crews removed metal fencing on the span before a large excavator began demolishing the concrete sides of the structure. The tanker truck burst into flames under the overpass after colliding with two other vehicles. The cause remains under investigation.
