since cleared. ninety-five south at cottman what we are looking at. no longer traveling at supposed speeds, with that being said, this is fairly typical. still looking pretty good in that area. forty-two freeway northbound at creek road, what you look at for those every in you jersey coming up to 29a overall holding steady, not looking too bad, delaware county not looking bad. fifty-nine north 452, take it all the way up to the airport looking good. you might have to pack those sunglasses, see the sun glare already. accident near frazier route 202 southbound at route 30. it is pulled all the way off to the shoulder. so you might be getting little bit of gaper delay right now being it is pulled off to the shoulder won't slow you down all that much. we do have some construction out there, take a look, bridge inspections going on, second eastbound and westbound, between university ave. and vine street expressway, westbound, the right lane will be block between nine a.m. and 1:00 p.m., eastbound side the left lane, that's between 12 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. i'll be tweeting that that out as well.

warminster lines, will hopefully see less train crowding and fewer full cart bypassing them at peak travel times. septa service boosted by leasing deal from the maryland area commuter service, by weeks' end september will have a leased ten from the maryland agency, 28 wars in total. with other rail cars being leased from amtrak, and new jersey transit. >> we found the first one, then okay, this is an issue we have, we'll check everything that we have here, then we check everything else we had here, found more cracks. >> septa has been down 120 of its silver liner five rail cars for some two weeks. bag on july 1st, septa found cracks on load bearing suspension beams on one car, then, similar cracks were found on 105 other cars, leading septa to pull its silver liner fleet. >> the agency says it hopes to get those cars back on line. eventually. >> we will not be replacing the entire train. there will be affix. we are looking at can we have

an an arrow, ankle lost a being long-term solution. >> and septa is working on a plan to repair the silver liner five's. >> and again, back out live there is train still loading. we have five of septa a's busiest regional rail lines that will be seeing this interim weekday service by friday, hope to have about 28 leased trains on the tracks, that will be a drop in the bucket considering they're down 120 silver line cars, however, given the state of what's going on here, that 28 extra cars that will be being used to will be a relief. justin finch, cbs-3, ooh i witness news, brooke, jim, back into you. >> thanks, justin. turning to political news in cleveland, security concerns mounting as republicans kick off their convention tonight. local police and secret service are visible around the quick and loans arena. despite the growing number of police shootings across the nation, police in cleveland

say they're prepared for anything that may happen. >> during the planning process, for the rnc, we planned for anything and everything that could happen. >> anti-trump protesters have shown up to demonstrate peacefully outside the convention, donald trump's address on thursday is expected to surpass the 30 million viewers mitt romney had in 2012. >> now, our own jessica dean will be covering the republican national convention live from clevelandment look for her report here on "eyewitness news". >> once the republican convention ends, democrats will start gathering in philadelphia. now down to seven days before the opening gavel at the wells fargo center. now, we know, who tops the list of convention speakers. the president, and mrs. obama are among the headliners, advise pre biden is also scheduled to speak. hillary clinton's formal rival, bernie sanders, will give speech, too, as well as former president will clinton and daughter chelsea. >> well, it seems like it has taken long road to get us here, we finally reached the

convention. >> fill rosenberg, positive professor of political science at drexel university, back with us to what to watch for over the next two weeks. morning. >> morning. >> bill, we talk with you many times during the campaign season, finally here, whether it is the rnc or the dnc, what's the ultimate goal of these conventions? >> ultimate goal of these conventions is two fold. number one is to choose a nominee. and the second is to approve a party platform. one of the things we need to recognize though historically, this fact of these two principal roles diminish because we already know in both cases who the nominees are. and then the party platforms have already been approved earlier this week. >> rnc starts today. donald trump is not your traditional candidate. how do you expect this con svennson to be different? >> i think both parties will try tow create an atmosphere of carnation, image that they're strong, they have a lot of support, and they're

going to lead america to a better place. we're going to see donald trump who is going to be a little bit more glitz and show business, and as he wants to see it. you're going to see more of a political sort of orientation on the democratic side, partly because democrats are the political leaders are behind hillary clinton, while the republican party the establishment party people won't even be showing up in cleveland. >> i like the nail is he to corronation. what should we watch for? what are the messages you think the speak letters try to get across? >> i think these messages are being a little bit reworked as we're sitting here right now. i think the violence that we're seeing in the united states with police officers being shot is one message that's going to now take a much more prominent stage. and the recent events in nice, in france, with terrorism, are also going toly a bigger role. so while we may have this idea of what the issues were, during the campaign, i think

over the last two weeks or so some of these issues will be moved forward, and some backward. >> did these convention offer one last chance to aoun my or energize the party? what do you think? >> i think they provide a vehicle for the parties, to show themselves off. democrats seem to be more united dollars behind a party as inch had hillary clinton. but ultimately, trade i shall will i has happened, is that the bathes, the presidential debates, have been the big story. when we see each of the candidates standing next to each other debating head had on head, but this is certainly going to be much watched tv. >> speaking of unifying voters, looking ahead to the dnc, even bernie sanders endorsed hillary clinton, will this convention also need to focus on unifying the democratic party? >> i think one of the things we have to look for is who does hillary clinton choose as her vice presidential candidate? that's going to be a little bit of a tell, in a sense, of how she feels she needs to

move to be able to win in november. even though she's far ahead in terms of the retro college count, likely, she needs to still solidify not only the base but to be in both other democrats and independence. >> now, thanks a lot, once again, political analyst and professor live with us this morning, we appreciate it. >> well, stay with "eyewitness news" for continuing coverage of campaign 2016 on the radio with "kyw news radio" and 1210wpht on line at cbsphilly.com here on tv with "eyewitness news" and your news team here on cbs-3. ing. >> detective investigating murder inside a northeast philadelphia motel. someone found the bodies of two women yesterday afternoon inside the roosevelt motor in in rhawnhurst. that's on the roosevelt boulevard. white plastic bags were over their heads and their hands were bound behind their backs. it is unclear how the women died, so far no arrests.
