You bet breaking news changes everything like traffic between pa and jersey. Live look right now from skyfox of the Delaware River bridge. Which shut down of course in january after construction crews discovered a huge crack in one of the trusses. Needless to say its been a very Big Inconvenience for a whole lot of drivers and our brad sattin caught up with some of them tonight. Live in buck county. Brad you were earlier saying some of those drivers were doing a happy dance. Reporter yeah, they were doing a happy dance. This could have been so much worse there were some scenarios with this bridge that could have kept it close for a year or longer. Possibly having to rebuild it so in the end, were talking about seven weeks here, 42,000 vehicles a day drive to and from across that bridge. It is obviously reopened tonig tonight. It opened about 35 minutes ago. This is the last we hopefully seen of detours over the delaware seven week after its closure because of a crack that lowered the turnpike bridge 2inches it is reopening tonig tonight. Several weeks ahead of schedule you know thanks to lot of hard work by a lot of people on both sides of the Delaware River. And also thanks to a little bit of luck especially with the weather. We were able to open well ahead of our projected april reopening of the bridge. Reporter it took weeks to jack the bridge back up and permanently splice the crack. Then as load dump trucks drove across the bridge, high tech sensors determined all was again safe. It has been one massive inconvenience for drivers. It takes me anywhere from an extra 20 to 45 minutes. For the last seven weeks thats what youve been up against. Yeah, opposed to smooth one hour driving one and a half hours. Reporter there was a small up side for some Truck Drivers who learned that detouring over the i95 bridge was free. Safe money much thats all that matters. Bottom line any more. Reporter hope now that the fix is indeed permanent. Hopefully theyre doing it the right way and not putting a patch on it and slapping it together. Shutting it down a month from now because theres more issues with it. Reporter and that indeed is the worry tonight. Is this bridge safe . The pennsylvania chief turnpike engineer says that over the past seven weeks this was likely the most scrutinized bridge in the world. So indeed he says its safe and there are lucy a lot of people doing that happy dance tonight. Ill be one of them. Brad sattin thank you much. Man that goes by philly jesus making headlines again tonight much this time its controversy over a picture you see it that he posted on social media. Fox 29s Chris Oconnell live outside the National Shrine of saint john neumann where the guy who calls himself philly jesus took that photo. Lot of folks think its inn appropriate. Reporter yeah, lucy, its a shrine. Not a place for selfies. Well tonight, some area catholics are fuming over what they call a disrespectful show of faith. Its the instagram picture thats causing outrage among local catholics. Hes really doing something extraordinarilily disrespectful. The man known as philly jesus seen behind the altar at shrine saint john neumann hoping up a ceremonial vessel carried the sack crem known as monstrance. As far as catholics are concerned were not supposed to be doing that. Reporter the picture getting blasted on social media. Area catholics outraged. They call me blasphemous tell me im going to hell. They call me the white definitely. Reporter philly jesus whose real name is Michael Grant is a former heroin addict turned center city street preacher and social media star. He made news last year getting arrested in an apple store for loitering. Some say this stunt went too f far. To be honest with you i think its a little disrespectful. I understand that hes getting in touch with his safe and hes trying to feel up close and perm but at the same time theres a sense of respect with sacramentals you just dont cross. Reporter grant says hes a life long catholic and has been coming to this shrine since he was a kid. And strongly feels he did nothing wrong. You find it at all disrespectful to pick up something that is meant for the clergy to handle . No, i dont. I am the king of the rebels. Reporter now lucy i spoke with a couple priests here at the shrine tonight and they were not at all happy with seeing that picture on social media but at the same time they say if philly jesus wanted to come back to the shrine, he is more than welcome. All about forgiveness. Chris oconnell, thank you much. In west chester jury selection of the man accused of ambushing two Pennsylvania State troopers prosecutors say 33yearold eric frein killed Corporal Byron dax son and seriously hurt trooper alex douglas outside the bloo bloomig grove barracks in 20 of 2014. He led police on 48 day manhunt through the pocono mountains. The jury will come from chester counsel tie with the trial set to begin in april 3rd on pike county. He could face the death senten sentence. Tonight hangs takes another look at the nurses picket line at Delaware County Memorial Hospital in drexel hill. Nurses will go back to work friday morning without a contract but they have been adamant with hang this has never been about the money. Here he is with more. Report one though came through, they came through like bulldozers Prospect Medical came through. Who should have no business to be in the middle medical business. They know nothing about it. Reporter pat falcone steaming mad even after picketing for the better part of a week. She and other nurses at the Delaware County Memorial Hospital are locked out of their jobs until early friday after executing a twoday strike at the beginning of the week. At issue staffing cuts especially to nurses that the hospitals owner is making. Pat says change dangerous. When they look at dollars and cents whose costing the most money. The nurses w did they hit, they hit the nurses. Letting staff leave and not replacing them thats like telling the nurse go take a temperature but you dont are thermometer. The nurses union will call walk out monday for a twoday strike. Negotiations with Prospect Medical hold whos ba lawsuit the hospital last summer have not resulted in a deal despite nearly two dozen meetings. Weve been working for this crack for over year. We can see that, you know, prospect was not negotiating. They came to the table with nothing. Multiple multiple times which caw sad and waste add lot of our time the people that went to negotiations we didnt get paid for that o thats our day off. Reporter real key point taken away here at least according to these lock out nurses is this isnt a salary negotiation. This is about staffing. The way they put it its about the right am of nurses for the amount of patients in the hospital. Safe staffing. Reached on the phone this afternoon a hospital spokesman told me that the hospital staffs nurses at the National Average checking four times a day average nurse makes better than 80,000 a year according to a statement. Its not about money. Its about safety to the patie patients. You cant get quality care with cuts under staffed nurses. Report roar these hospital spokesman added that nurses werent locked out as theyve said but the temporary workers often come with a guaranteed number of work days. My question is, who do you believe . Nurses, many of whom live in drexel hill and work at the hospital for decades, or Prospect Medical holdings a hedge fund . Draw your own conclusions but hit me up the neck time youre in the er id like to know how long the line is. Im hank and thats my take.

Patricks day parade only three days away, right . For the many irish dancers set to kick up their heels on the new root the parade marks one time of year theyre dancing for the sheer fun of it and being lord of the dance something so steep in tradition takes whole lot of commit many. Welcome to the Mchugh School of irish dance. Where children ages four to 17 learn the storied steps of their ancestors. She taught irish dance for 22 years. Before that, she danced competitively placed sixth in the nation. We competed all over. We were in ire land. I probably competed at the worlds five officer six times. Even kicked up her heels with the original star of river dan dance. Revolution knifed irish dancing worldwide. It made it so much more main stream. People that never heard of irish dancing all of a sudden wanted to be irish dancers. Which led to a boom at the dance school. I saw river dance. I said to my mom i want to be a river dancer when i grow up. Those signature curls theyre wigs. I really think river dance kind of was the beginning of wearing wigs because they did. Looks beautiful. Theyre so much easier than curling hair if you have daughters and you spend hours on saturday night curling their hair before a competition. The dresses as pricey as they are sparkly. For the preliminary level dancer youll probably run about 17, 1,800. Some of the open championship kids are probably about thee thousand. One big commitment and money in time for these families with competitions every weekend and practice, practice, practice which begins with the right shoes. Soft shoe like ballet. And hard shoe is like tap but its a lot harder. Wee ones decided to teach me a thing or two. Point, hop, happen hospital, back, two, three, four. Thus began and ended my irish dance career. Oh, my gosh. Then we do north, south, east, west, right foot, left foot, right foot again and dance back off to me. What did you say. Yeah, try to keep up. Thumbs up, thumbs down, arms in. Why the hands down . One, two, three. It was because the english would not let them dance so they would keep their arms at their side so that soldiers were watching them that they didnt realize that they were dancing much thats the story that i heard any way. Steeped in tradition irish dance dates back centuries and graces philadelphias st. Patricks day parade. The second oldest in the nation. Its all really fun and like everyone is cheering you on. At times its stressful but the one time of year when youre dancing for fun. Dancing after all should be all about happy. It makes me happy because to make other people happy to let them see everybody through irish dance. Yes, it does little mermaid. Yes, it does. You go, lucy. [ laughter ] i couldnt stop smiling the whole time especially the wee ones. Theyre so cute. Theyre so good. I know. I couldnt keep up. Wait, wait, wait, what . Im with you. I cant wait till sunday. It will be awesome. I know you can catch st. Patricks day live right here on fox 29. Sunday march 12th from noon until thee then casm it against rebroadcast on st.

Spring ahead one hour. I wish we can push that off until monday. Do you drink coffee . I dont. Really either. Drinking caffeine may help slow down dementia. I wonder if diet coke finds into realm. Researchers 20 tide 24 compound including caffeine in coffee with the potential to boost enzyme in the brain shown to protect against the disease. Researchers hope the discovery will hope advance efforts to develop drugs that prevent dementia. Very cool. Tom srendenschek, let the free agency games begin. Let it begin ladies. Because somewhere across this late land we call america at this very hour nfl owners are spending more money. Its the american way on day one of free agency. My buyer beware thoughts are coming up next. Tom srendenschek going shopping kind of in the nfl. His commentary in 15 seconds. Dust settling on free agency orgy in the nfl only day one. Its when owners and general managers throw money around like theres no tomorrow. Throw boardwalk and park place money at battle tick avenue and marvin gardens. Still not a way to build a football team. You might find a gym. For the most part its littered with players who hit the open market for a pretty good reason. There are lot of mistakes. See Brock Osweiler eagles had two major signings today. Jeffrey coming off season where he missed four games for violating the league tosses perform maps hen enhancing drug policy thats 14 million. Smiths 2016 season, 20 catches, 12 games 5 million. Both guys need the change of scenery. I have my suspicions. Remember this. Over the last four years, each guys numbers have gone down each year. Now as i said does each guy need that change of scenery the right quarterback . Well carson and Eagles Front Office sure think so and more importantly they hope so. This is still a league one in the draft room. Thats where the eagles have to be good this year. And thats what will take them from good to hopefully great. Lucy . All right, thank tom.
