bright spot. >> lets switch now to "action news" reporter, annie mccormick live on the steps of art museum for reaction to these closures. >> reporter: the art museum is probably the neighborhood that will have the best view when the pope is here in town the mayor said we are opening the city to the world and with that comes restrictions but he is asking for people to embrace that. residents are learning more about where they can and cannot go during the papal weekend when 1.5 million pilgrims are expected. >> i'm excited for people to come here and see what philly has to offer. penndot closes 76, i-676 and route 1 will be open using selective ramps, the ben franklin bridge will be shut down until monat noon.

>> it makes it hard for people that live and work in the city, have you to do things for security but you have to think of the residents too. a traffic box goes into effect in the evening but it's not clear how long, vehicles can leave but not return and vehicles within the box can drive within it with restrictions. jared's business is a 24/7 operation, he needs his car, but will your employer have leniency because of pope is in town. >> yes, i think so, we have had meetings about it. >> and good news for waitress jacqueline, she bikes any way, you can ride the regional rail with the special papal pass. residents have one request, i hope they take care of our neighborhood and respect and it have a good time. >> the mayor said today that he is having ongoing conversations

lied to them in a newspaper leak related to a 2009 case, so far no comment from kathleen kane. a body has been found during the search for a missing 11-year-old boy from delaware county, laquan latmer was last seen riding his bike -- and his family offered a $1500 reward pour information, they have not said if the body found in the creek is that of lattimore's. a 26-year-old man is charged with murdering his own father, police say that the son stabbed his dad with a sword in his buck county home. john rawlins live in the langhorne neighborhood where this happened last night. >> reporter: hi sharrie, this is a puzzling incident for sure, this is not the case where the suspect had a long history of

troubled or violent behavior but quite the opposite, some that know him think he snapped but they don't know why. >> last night inside of his own home, allen goodrich, a retired neshaminy school teacher was killed. >> he was arraigned at midnight, charged was his 26-year-old son eli, it was their mother june that said the stabbing was intentional. she heard eli tell allen, you are not going to control my mind anymore and i have to kill you, he told his mother i love you and heard her husband say from a nearby room, you are going to kill me and june goodrich when into the room and she observed allen with a sword protruding from his stomach and he said don't worry mom it's a fake

sword it collapses. he pulled the sword from him and june saw the scored covered in blood, june who has been critically ill was transferred to the hospital. eli is due to be married this month, neighbors knew him as a nice guy that took an active interest in the antique business traveling to shows with his dad. >> i thought eli and al actually were becoming buddies going on these antique trips because they were eli, what would you say, he was the centser of their life. they loved him. >> he remains in jail tonight, no word of a psychiatric evaluation, it would seem likely in this case. >> thank you john. seven people were hurt when

a dart bus and an suv collided in wilmington, this is the scene shortly before 11:00 at 11thth north walnut, rescue crews had to rescue the driver of that suv. several people were taken to the hospital including the suv driver, all the injuries are non-life-threatening. old city is in for a new look tlrk is plans for an upscale high rise apartment, going up next to ray street at the ben franklin bridge, that has long been a vacant lot and this long awaited project is finally off the ground. >> there is nothing like this building in philadelphia, philadelphia's old city is getting a new neighbor. a ground breaking ceremony was held today for new apartment building known as the bridge project. at the corner of second and ray street, it's just a stones throw away from the delaware river

front, the project started 14 years ago in 2001 but it hit some snags. >> we started designs and ran into opposition and ran into a recession, and it took about five years and then we started to enjoy a tremendous resurgence of philadelphia. >> that resurgence started with the ray street pier a peer under the ben franklin bridge and then came along this new construction building at ray and columbus boulevard and now the bridge, city leaders hope it will connect old city to the waterfront, 17 stories high it includes parking for cars and bicycles and a gym and 24 hour concierge, the look is breathtaking and fresh. >> this design has evolved overtime but i think it reflects the best of what we can do in this city.

>> you can mesh the old with the new, it was done properly, done right, without giving the appearance of being right on top of the neighborhood. >> nearby residents we spoke with said it was an exciting change for old city. >> it's going to be the removal of a blight, an empty parking lot, nobody maintained it, we are glad to see the change. >> it's a big undertaking, the luxury apartments will rents from $3500. they are set to open in 2023. >> it will be pretty. now a look at the traffic report. what do you have for us matt pellman. >> this is not pretty, not one bit. nothing cements a rotten ride home like a broken down cement truck, they just pushed it off to the side but not before it leaks some cement on the northbound lanes of 95 and that had to be cleaned up and it

looks like in the last 30 seconds they got two of the left lanes open headed northbound and they have the right lane blocked here at cotman avenue, as you can imagine, and as evidenced by the travel time, the whole way is a parking lot to cotman avenue, but it looked like that truck was leaving, as we watch live along 95, progress there but a big delay. a big crash in hill top township, involving a motorcycle and a pedestrian, at apple wood drive, diamond would be a better bet. a wreck along 113 and one at the heart of landsdale at hancock at broad street. and elsewhere a crash that cleared along route 1 in buck county, near route 13 and then a second one in the backlog, you can see the backlog here is still pretty heavy because of two earlier accidents. we'll check this again monica and sharrie in the next half

hour. >> thank you. there is much more to come on "action news" at 5:00, we'll continue the coverage of the upcoming papal visit and details on how local hospitals are preparing for the events. ali gorman has that in health check. >> we go to cecily tynan for the outdo outdoor adventure. >> hi, i have a pancake tortoise, this is the fastest tortoise in the world, that is like being the loud of the whisperer. they are found in east africa, unlike tortoises that have a solid shell, these are light and flexible, when they sense danger, they will literally make a run for it and get into rocks and crevices and try to hide. i will feed the examiner tiger

coming up. >> all right we'll have that and much more meteorologist, adam joseph with the complete accuweather forecast. consideration

officials have announced major closures and retail hospitals have made some plans, now ali gorman is here at the big board to explain this. >> reporter: plans have been in the works for a while and the health system of pennsylvania started working on preparations ever since they learned there was a possibility that the pope could visit. i met up with mark ross the reeceal manager for emergency preparedness, they say they train every month for large scale events and moneys. amtrak's train derailment in may was an example of agencies working together as millions of people come to the parkway for the pope's visit, ross says preparations are underway to make sure things run smoothly.

>> we are looking to make sure we have enough supplies and this way we are there to take care of patients that do present to our hospitals. >> and some hospitals may bring in staff before the weekend and they are in place so they don't have to travel through the clouds, and they are not scheduling elective surgeries around the weekend and they work closely with emergency medical crews and the idea is to make sure everyone is on the same page, they are confident that they will be. ali thank you. >> mississippi investigators are questioning a person of interesting, after someone repeatedly fired shots for a second consecutive day, soldiers training at the cap kamp reported shots fired into the air the same area where soldiers reported gunshots fired from a
