this could be a mess for traffic coming off the ben franklin bridge. at this point traffic is getting by with that blocking of the lane as you look at the big picture, a good idea might be to take the walt whitman bridge and try to avoid any problems with the ben franklin bridge already speed restrictions, we'll see delays if this stays out westbound on the bridge before the vinyl street expressway. looks like when it was making that turn on the ben franklin bridge it toppled over and couldn't make the turn. let's go outside 422 traffic moving nicely, roads are clear and dry the big issue is the overturned tractor-trailer. >> new this morning, a terrible accident involving a flying piece of plywood killed a woman walking along a street in new york city. we have learned that woman is originally from philadelphia. 36-year-old was walking in greenwich village on tuesday a strong gust of wood sent a sheet of wood from the construction site and slammed into the woman and hit her he had head the force of the blow sent her into the brick wall. she died a few

ben franklin bridge. last time i showed you this, you can see how jammed you are on the ben franklin bridge. they have put 25-mile an hour speed restrictions. traffic is getting by, already a mess, this delay will likely grow we'll follow it through the morning. looks like they have a lot work to do as they are trying to unload the tractor-trailer and upright it before they can clear it. take the walt whitman bridge as an a alternate. otherwise the major majors are doing okay, just slower speeds, the big story is the overturned tractor-trailer. >>> breaking right now officials at paulsboro high school in south jersey say classes will be held today one day after noxious fumes sickened several people. crews tested the air earlier this morning. the superintendent tells "action news" they used monitors in classrooms and hallways to make sure there is nothing in the air. >> all the monitors, county, local, environmental protection has been here. they did an extensive tour checked it and there's nothing of conc

coming into philly on the ben franklin bridge. this happened last night at about 8:30, right at the tail end of the rush hour. this is at the sharp curve when you come into philadelphia over the ben franklin, right by the lightning bolt there where obviously the road makes that sharp curve. now, there were closures in effect last night. i just drove by the spot this morning and talked to the clean up crew, that truck is still laying on its side. it was caring fruit. so they had to off load the cargo, and they are in the process now of cleaning that up. let's go to the live traffic camera right now of the ben franklin bridge coming into philadelphia. light volume at the moment. so there is no problems coming in to philly on the ben franklin. but right at the bottom, right here, at this lightning bolt, is where that truck kind of lays. now, you notice, there is only three lanes open, because they weren't able to use that big zipper machine the big green machine, that moves the concrete barriers over to give us a extra lane into town

on the ben franklin.ee how we're starting to seat pockets? now, we typically have four lanes open during the morning rush hour. but that tractor-trailer damaged the concrete barrier that typically moves over and gives us that extra lane. so right now we're only dealing with three lanes coming over the span. when you get into philadelphia, that sharp turn lays the tractor-trailer, and police have it down to only two lanes. so coming into philly, this morning on the ben franklin, is going to be a rough go. i think about alternate right now. you got a couple. talcony, the betsy, the walt whitman, or throw some extra time into your commute if you are coming into philly this morning. another accident there is one, on 295 on the new jersey side of the delaware memorial bridge. there is a fuel spill to go along with it, so if you typically use the delaware memorial bridge, i would use the new jersey turnpike, if you are coming down from south jersey, to give you access to the bridge, otherwise starting to see de
