Since no one apparently thought of it at the time the highway was built, you would think they'd install a parallel (bypass) line now in case that section ever needed to be shut down. A horizontal drill rig would bore a hole from one side of Route 95 to the other, the new pipe would be pulled through, and valves installed on both ends of the new line that tie in to the existing line. The new composite pipe would be one piece (with an excellent friction coefficient) and not in sections that need to be "rammed" together.
