Cottman Avenue repairs begin after Philly plane crash: Here's what you should know
2025 plane crashes: Latest after Delta plane overturns at Toronto Airport
From January's deadly plane crashes in Philadelphia and D.C., to a Delta plane overturning on its landing at Toronto Airport Monday, here's the latest on the incidents.
PHILADELPHIA - Crews have returned to the site of the deadly plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia weeks after the tragedy rocked the neighborhood.
What we know:
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation started roadway repairs on Cottman Avenue Monday morning.
FOX 29 was at the scene as several barriers were put in place, and construction vehicles got to work digging up parts of the roadway.
The repairs are scheduled for Monday through Friday this week, and will result in one right lane being closed westbound on Cottman Avenue between Roosevelt Boulevard and Bustleton Avenue.
The backstory:
Cottman Avenue was the site of a medical transport crash in Northeast Philadelphia last month that claimed the lives of seven people, six people onboard the plane, and one man inside a vehicle on the ground.
Fires and debris were scattered across the neighborhood, causing major damage to roads, homes and vehicles.
The eight-foot-deep crater that marked the spot where the plane crashed into the ground was filled in earlier this month.
Officials have said that restoring the neighborhood to a sense of normalcy would be a "long-term recovery."
What you can do:
Drivers are being advised to allow extra travel time around Cottman Avenue during repairs.
