NORWALK, Conn. (NEWSnet/AP) — A bridge damaged in a fiery crash that kept Interstate 95 in Connecticut closed Thursday and Friday has been demolished.

A live camera operated by Connecticut Department of Transportation on Saturday showed excavators and bucket loaders scooping rubble from the destroyed Fairfield Avenue overpass above I-95 in Norwalk, and dumping it into large containers and dump trucks for haul-away.

Crews started tearing down the bridge on Friday morning and work, including the repaving of damaged parts of the road, was expected to continue throughout the weekend.

Workers are aiming to get all six lanes of traffic on the interstate reopened before rush hour Monday morning.

About 160,000 vehicles travel daily on the affected stretch of I-95.
