AeroAggregates of North America in Eddystone is providing a recycled foam glass material to help make quick temporary repairs to an I-95 overpass that collapsed June 11, writes Marc Levy for NBC Philadelphia.

The company is using an aggregate glass material from its Eddystone manufacturing plant.

AeroAggregates diverts glass bottles and jars from landfills and turns them into a foam to produce glass nuggets as light as Styrofoam, according to AeroAggregates CEO Archie Filshill.

It is a non-combustible substance resistant to chemicals, rot, and acid, according to the Aero Aggregates website.

The material is manufactured on a site that was once the Baldwin Locomotive Works.

Pennsylvania is hauling 2,000 tons of the material to the site of the collapse in the Northeast.

Using the recycled glass from a nearby location avoids supply-chain delays, said Pa. Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Crews are working 24 hours a day to get the roadway reopened.

“We’re going to get this job done as quickly as possible,” Shapiro said at a recent news conference.

A truck hauling gasoline lost control on an off-ramp and flipped on its side early Sunday, igniting a fire that collapsed the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 and damaged the southbound lane.
