The bridge on Fairfield Avenue over Interstate 95 will open Monday, seven months after its predecesor was critically damaged in a fiery crash, officials said. The bridge was demolished following a fiery crash involving an oil tanker May 2, which compromised the structural integrity of the overpass. The crash happened after a sedan cut off the tractor trailer on I-95 south, forcing the driver of the truck to swerve to avoid a collision. In doing so, the back of the tanker was ripped open, spilling gasoline and causing the fire. Even though the old bridge was demolished and cleared within 80 hours of the crash, the incident caused massive traffic, delays and detours throughout the Northeast. By June 1, engineers completed a design for the bridge, and work had started by mid-summer.
