I-95 was closed in both directions after a fuel tanker caught fire Sunday, causing the bridge to collapse. Authorities have not said exactly how the fuel caught fire.

A body was found under the rubble and turned over to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner for identification, state police said in a statement.

The truck driver, Nathaniel Moody, went missing shortly after the crash, ABC affiliate WPVI-TV reported.

Experts and investigators spent hours surveying the damage at the scene. Officials said it will take months to rebuild the collapsed section of road. I-95 runs from Miami to the Canadian border near Maine.

US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the federal government is working with Pennsylvania to restore the highway. “This is going to be a major disruption in the region,” Mr. Buttigieg said.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro issued a disaster declaration on Monday, freeing up federal funds to help rebuild a section of the highway, which currently carries 160,000 vehicles daily.

He also urged residents to find alternative routes, take the train or work from home.

Andy Herrmann, a former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, said bridges were not designed to withstand the heat from tanker fires, which can reach 1,090 degrees Celsius (2,400 degrees Fahrenheit), and such incidents were rare.
