NASCAR jet dryer ready to help speed up I-95 opening in Philadelphia. A special NASCAR vehicle will be available to help as crews work to reopen a damaged portion of I-95 in Philadelphia just weeks after a fire caused several lanes of the highway to collapse.
The vehicle is coming from the Pocono Raceway. The raceway said the vehicle will be on standby to dry the road if needed ... in order for line painting not to be delayed.

Well, isn't that special! No, seriously, that is kinda cool. It's an offer in good faith to help in a bad situation. Hope they get to use it.

The damaged portion of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia was reopened ahead of schedule Friday, 12 days after a deadly collapse shut down the major East Coast thoroughfare and caused chaos for commuters. They did use the jet dryer from Pocono.
It looks like they only have a portion open. It will take several more months to complete all repairs.
Here is a time lapse of the repair:
