Were closing the door on this work week but getting home from it is not the easiest feat on this friday afternoon. Unfortunately no positive progress to report here along 95 in terms of the amount of traffic that can get by our major accident southbound approaching cottman avenue. There is the truck involved, theres another vehicle on its side up against the barrier that was involved. A very serious accident. Still have the three right lanes blocked and this is just stuck traffic thats getting by here in the left lane. They have blocked off all southbound lanes at woodhaven, all traffic coming out of bucks county into northeast philadelphia is being forced off onto woodhaven head toward philadelphia mills so as you can see this is creating huge delays in bucks county near street road. Thats the southbound traffic thats head toward woodhaven waiting to exit onto it. Just 4 Miles Per Hour coming down from 413 to woodhaven where, again, all southbound traffics being forced off. So, you can do that and then head over to the southbound boulevard but single digit speeds over there as well. Frankford avenue is packed with speeds in the single digits. If you can work your way into new jersey and use 130 or 295, you would be better off but that, too, is not the easiest feat because the Burlington Bristol is jammed, the turnpike connector bridge is closed. Just lots of extra time in the northeast this afternoon. Opening at the tacony palmyra bridge has wrapped up and our crash on the southbound side of the blue route near broomall is gone. Were watching that 95 situation and well keep doing that brian and sharrie in the 5 oclock hour. Okay, matt, thank you. Adam Joseph Standing by with the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast next.
