On June 11, 2023, a tanker truck carrying gasoline lost control as it was attempting to exit the highway and caught fire under the overpass carrying Interstate 95 (I-95) at the Pennsylvania Route 73 (PA 73, Cottman Avenue) interchange in the Tacony neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia. The extreme heat caused the northbound lanes to collapse and damaged the southbound lanes. This resulted in a roughly nine-mile (14 km) closure of both directions of I-95 between the Betsy Ross Bridge/Aramingo Avenue (exit 26) and PA 63/Woodhaven Road (exit 35). After emergency construction of a temporary roadway, traffic resumed June 23, less than two weeks after the fire.A similar incident was seen in 2007 where a large fire caused the collapse of a connector in the MacArthur Maze in Oakland, California, and in 2017 where a large fire caused the collapse of an overpass that was a part of I-85 in Atlanta, Georgia.
