Jessica boyington watching things from the first alert traffic center. Definitely take the schuylkill expressway. Thats because our camera showing us right here, the schuylkill eastbound around University Avenue still closed this morning as it has been for several hours now. Thats because there was a tractortrailer accident involving a tractortrailer carrying beer kegs and another vehicle involved there as well. Youre looking at getting by there is the westbound side. At least one lane or so getting by the scene there. All eastbound traffic, though, is at a complete standstill. Were seeing big delays past south street and traffic pretty much looks like its at a standstill. Thats a lot of traffic to be pushed off the university off ramp. 34th bridge, wharton street to the schuylkill expressway eastbound ramp, a little further east. Down below youll pop out down there. Other than that, if youre taking the schuylkill expressway, before you get stuck, take the vine street expressway, head eastbound there and head to 95 in that direction or so. That will be a good alternate. Were still in the green at least through the vine street expressway. Updates for the rest of the morning. We have Team Coverage of that tractortrailer crash thats backing up traffic on the schuylkill in the eastbound lanes. Lets get to nbc 10s pamela osborne.

So, again, that seems to be taking a little bit of time this morning. You can see traffic going on the westbound lanes right now. As of now, traffic from this direction, eastbound on the schuylkill, not getting on. We have seen some other cars go a little bit ahead of the accident. Theyre able to get on.

We spoke with riders who say they are concerned and frustrated right now. I think theyre not thinking of everyone. I think theyre only thinking of themselves. When they think about the strike, they put a lot of us in jeopardy of how we choose to get to work. Two years after the last strike threat, some of the sticking points remain today, including pension, health care and work schedules. The union has claimed that managers are getting special treatment. They tell themselves they deserve more, we deserve less. Were not going to tolerate that. Septa responded to the vote with a written statement, quote, while we happen the union does not exercise its right to strike, we are focusing on reaching a new contract thats in the best interest of our riders, employees and stakeholders. Riders here this morning, holding out hope that a strike does not happen. Theres no word yet on any contingency plans. If a strike does happen, theres a couple weeks to go for those negotiations.

Definitely messy, bill. We have an accident scene around University Avenue on the schuylkill expressway and on the eastbound side closing it. Its been closed all morning long. These are cameras around south street showing you the backup approaching the scene. Traffic at almost a complete standstill. Maybe a car moving a few feet or so at any given time. So this is backing up, starting to be all the way towards the vine street expressway area. This is where wec start to seet trickle off and still see traffic moving just approaching the scene all the way to this here. Take the vine street expressway as your alternate and head eastbound, head towards 95 that way or if youre stuck in this mess or know somebody that is, get a call and let them know. Wharton street to the schuylkill expressway eastbound ramp, that will drop you off around in this direction right over here. You can head to 95 or wherever you were going, your final destination there. But for now, that little portion on the eastbound side of the schuylkill is closed. The westbound side is open.

That truck was loaded down with beer. They were having to remove the load from the back of that truck before they could get it on that tow truck to get it out of here. I know we were talking about the westbound lanes being open this morning. You can see state police still here, still doing their accident investigation. That tractortrailer we know was involved in an accident with a car earlier this morning. But you can see theyre kind of standing in some of the westbound lanes here. Even though the traffic is open, keep in mind that theyre going to be doing some work there throughout the morning. Your best advice is to take it really slow, avoid this area. Of course, give them the road to conduct this accident investigation as its taking place right now. Thats all halan as we happeni talking to you right now. Thats the latest for now in grays ferry, pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. Pamela, thanks for the update. 6 34. 60 degrees outside. For septa riders, the clock is ticking.

You might remember septa workers narrowly avoided a strike two years ago around this time. Some of the sticking points remain today including pension equity between managers and workers, Better Health care benefits and more consistent work schedules. Union claims that managers are getting special treatment. Tell themselves they deserve more, we deserve less. Were not going to tolerate that. Septa responded to the vote with a written statement, quote, while we hope that the union does not exercise its right to strike, we are focusing on reaching a new contract thats in the best interest of our riders, employees and stakeholders. Theres no word yet on any corn continue jenscy plans if a strike does happen. Septa Regional Rail, its important to note, would not be affected about i that strike if that should happen.

Meteorologist bill henley is tracking the warmup in the neighborhood forecast. Bill, and some fog. Yes, were getting a warmer start. With warm air can come moisture. Were seeing that this morning. Some areas of thick fog, dense fog wont last all day. With warming temperatures, the fog disappears. We have a summerlike afternoon with partly sunny cskies. Beautiful afternoon. Its not going to feel like autumn. This evening, the temperatures will cool down into the 70s. By tomorrow morning, upper 60s for much of the area. And helping with the warmup, the southwesterly winds, doing two things. It will give you warmer temperatures and bring in the additional moisture. Thats why it feels muggy and thats why part of the area seeing thick fog. One of the spots, Philadelphia International. 60 degrees. But with sunshine, the fog will literally disappear. By noontime, 73 degrees. Humidity will be dropping this afternoon as the temperature climbs. Look at that 4 00 p. M. Temperature of 79. I think well hit 80 this afternoon. Fog in the suburbs will clear out. 57 degrees right now. 67 at 10 00. Into the 70s at lunch time. The Lehigh Valley, scattered clouds and a little bit of fog, too. The clouds will be in and out this morning. By later this afternoon, upper 70s in the Lehigh Valley. And new jersey, you will not be out of the warmup. Sunshine and temperatures into the 70s by lunch time. Upper 70s at 2 00 and staying in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees in new jersey this afternoon. Even at the shore, a nice warmup, too. 63 now. Upper 60s at 10 00 and then look at that sunshine. Sunshine all day long and 70s at the shore. And fog to start with in delaware. Its 58 degrees. 58 to start with but then sunshine takes over. 70s to close to 80 degrees this afternoon. And its going to get even warmer. In fact, were likely to break records later this week. Take a look at that with the 10 day on 10 when im back in a few minutes. 19 minutes before 7 00.

Fill us in on the latest. Still closed on the eastbound side around University Avenue because of that accident scene. Right in the beginning of what is normally rush hour, we start to see typically start to see big delays in and out of center city right now anyway. Our cameras around Spring Garden street, that dli is pushing back further. Earlier, the biggest part of the delay was ending around the vine street expressway. Were seeing a little bit of a slowdown, a lot of a slowdown headed eastbound towards the accident scene. Those are our cameras around Spring Garden. Take a look at what it looks like on our map system. You can see where that backup goes. All the way around Spring Garden street exit ramp right here. Thats where we were starting to see the delay. Its closed up ahead. Now if youre on that little stretch right there where youre struck, theyre diverting you off around the University Avenue off ramp. Wharton street to the schuylkill expressway eastbound ramp and hop back on down here. I think your best bet is taking the vine street expressway eastbound. Thats still in the green there. All of that traffic thats starting to be slow past that point, get on the vine, access 95 that way. If that was your original intention. Watch for those delays there on the schuylkill. Avoid it if you can. If you cant, thats your alternate. The tacony palmyra bridge is in the process of almost in the process of a scheduled opening. Scheduled in the next couple of minutes for 6 45.
