PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A livestream to watch the work to repair I-95 in Philadelphia is now online if you want to check it out.

Crews are working to repair I-95 after a tanker truck hauling gasoline crashed and caught fire last Sunday, causing a portion of the highway to collapse.

UPDATE: Collapsed portion of I-95 will reopen within 2 weeks, Shapiro says

Traffic is now being diverted around the closed-off portion of the highway.

Meanwhile, workers are working around the clock at the collapse site. They cleared out the old lanes and then, began filling in the gap with a material made from recycled glass by Delaware County-based Aero Aggregates.

That bed of recycled material is being topped off with a temporary roadway to get traffic moving again.

The stream showed crews starting to pave the lanes on the temporary roadway.
