PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Frustrated commuters in Philadelphia are now looking for alternate routes following the collapse of I-95.
We spoke with a few people who live and work in Northeast Philadelphia who say one glance at the traffic being diverted off I-95 was all it took to decide maybe it's better to walk.

"I walked down here to get some Chinese food instead of driving and dealing with all the people. It's a little quicker probably and a little less stress," said Ken Anderson of Tacony.
For everybody else trying to get around by vehicle, the best thing to do is to come up with a plan and be willing to improvise if the plan doesn't work.
"I went shopping today. Instead of Frankford, I went up a couple of streets over and hit a couple of stop signs, but hey, you take your time," said John Mociak of Northeast Philadelphia.
A primary part of the problem is commuters who need to get back onto 95 on the other side are simply not sure yet of the best route.

Truck driver Mario Creary says it has been a tough day to be behind the wheel.
"I take a detour," he says. "I might have to go down to Torresdale Avenue and make a right on Ryan Avenue. Then hit State Road and then go down, you know, luckily, the police officers are being kind to the truck drivers and allowing us to go in and out."
