Ben franklin bridge is closed in addition to all Delaware River Port Authority bridges across our area. We will have much more but right now lets get outside to ann evans in the cbs3 Traffic Center ann. Thanks nicole. We are looking at the ben franklin bridge closed in both direction as long with all of the Delaware River Port Authority bridge necessary our area that includes the walt whitman, Burlington Bristol betsy ross bridge, tacony palmyra bridge shut down Commodore Barry bridge shut down. Again, all did he ever wear River Port Authority bridges are shut down due to icy conditions this morning. Our other big problem this morning is on the schuylkill expressway, this is schuylkill westbound, westbound lanes to the left of your screen is closed in both directions between the blue route and gulph mills. The accident happened, multi vehicle will Chain Reaction accident happened in the westbound lanes about a dozen plus cars are involved in this accident. There seems to be a tractor trailer, cars on the guardrail as you can see icy conditions here might have have been a culprit. They have put down salt so emergency crews can get the people injured in the westbound lanes. Again, the the schuylkill expressway shut down in both directions between blue route and gulph mills. This just in westbound delays also westbound closure between gladwynn and conshohocken due to an accident as well. We will move traffic cam again to i95, this seems to be terrible accidents every where and this portion of i95 as i95 south between girard avenue and vine street expressway. It is closed due to a very serious accident as well. Icy conditions reported in this area as well. On to the blue route, this is blue route at conshohocken, the blue route at conshohocken is hut down between conshohocken and Conshohocken Norristown exits and shut down due to serious accidents.

Again, roadways are very treacherous this morning, dont venture out until temperatures have listen and things get better because we have so many multi vehicle accidents out there. We barely could say them. We have barely time to say them. That is latest from the cbs3 Traffic Center, im ann evans back to you you said it, treacherous potentially deadly conditions outside on our roadways possibly the cause of so many of those accidents that were seeing, too many to count really, carol. The the the main question is when will it get better and when cow think these temperatures will warm up. They should warm up by the time we hit 10 00 oclock this morning. We will be watching for much better wet ther conditions, coming up, let me just step briefly out of the picture so you can see what im dealing with. So we are looking at a very low ceiling and we are looking at precipitation that is coming down into this. It is not heavy but the temperatures are below freezing mark. 32 degrees through philadelphia, right now. We will head out to the shore areas, it is above freezing. I see people running here. This is a trend that the temperatures warm up it is garden variety rain on to a surface that warmed up. We have rain on a surface that is sub freezing, that is freeing rain. The icy road. We have seen pictures. Call than not say much more than what you saw in those pictures. The freezing rain this morning. Temperatures near or below freezing in a number of locations, the slick roads are out there be careful, it is an under statement. This is i95 corridor, 32 philadelphia, 33 degrees in wilmington. We have seen problems through the i95 corridor right through the wilmington area as well. Areas, just adjacent, they may not have warmed up either in new jersey and that is one of the reason that these bridges are also closed down over the Delaware River and then you head to the north, temperatures are even colder, it will take a while longer for these temperatures to come up precipitation will also come into these areas so our problem of freezing rain can expand areas when the precipitation comes into the north and until we will start to see these temperatures coming up. Lancaster is reported out of their airport just a fog and a mist, a fog and a mist can freeze on a surface. Be careful out there today, notice areas to the south we have got temperatures in the 40s, so you are out of the danger zone right now but storm scan three is showing areas of the rain heavier rain coming in, that is not even a problem where we are seeing i95, blue route out through conshohocken, gulph mills, schuylkill expressway, be careful on any sections of 295 as well especially closer you get to the philadelphia area. It is just if you can stay home, this is really one of those mornings where if you can stay home through these area do it. If you are out up in the poconos you will be finding some of this moving in your direction. These Road Conditions can change in a second when precipitation key sides to come down. You dont need a big heavy rain field. In fact you will be dealing with light rain to begin with. It is sneaking up on you and before you know it, you dont have any control over your vehicle. We have a freezing rain advisory until 10 00 oclock this morning. New jersey suburbs north and west. 10 00 oclock should be the time when most of us start to warm up out of the freezing rain. Computer models are saying maybe. 1 of an inch of ice through philadelphia maybe. 3 of an inch through allentown air use. We keep saying it and ill try in the the to say it a hundred times more but ill say it 50 more times really take it the easy. By 10 00 oclock we have it through al
