I-95 saved from collapse because of a hot sausage sandwich?

This week, Philadelphia was saved from near catastrophe, all thanks to a hot sausage sandwich. After a long afternoon of inspecting the Schuylkill Expressway, two engineers pulled of I-95 in the Port Richmond section of town in order to grab a late lunch. While they were heading back to the expressway, they drove past the column you see there in the picture, which holds up 6 lanes of I-95. As luck would have it, Peter Kim was familiar with that stretch of I-95 and had actually been out inspecting it back in December. He pulled out his phone, sent a picture off to Penndot and the repair crews mobilized within the hour.

It did snarl traffic for a couple of days, as that stretch of highway had to be closed while they made repairs, but thanks to a hot sausage sandwich.
