Gotten the message already you dont want to be on 95 in this area of croydon bucks county its an absolute mess. Theyre thinking maybe by 6 oclock they can get it reopened but i dont know. Looks like they still have some work to do. So, what do you do instead . Head over to route one, the super highway and boulevard. Then you can go to woodhaven road and from there get back on 95 or stay more local on roads like hulmeville road or 13 or state road but 95 remains closed both ways this morning in croydon bucks county. Luckily our other overnight work zones along 95 by cottman, the betsy ross bridge and the airport have all cleared out. Lets check our overnight zone on the schuylkill expressway. Gone here, too. Eastbound lanes are reopened. They were supposed to close the westbound lanes overnight but they closed the eastbound ones instead. Bottom line is everythings least on the schuylkill well be okay, at least for now, karen. Thats very hopeful. Lets take a look right now at the weather
Getting by so we are seeing a southbound backlog. What happened overnight was they were trying to install a new sign using a crane and the sign ended up weighing 15,000 pounds more than they expected to. So, reports are that the sign fell from the crane and then had to be cleaned up. Thats why 95 was closed overnight in both directions here just south of 413. As we come out here you can see the southbound backlog that remains with that one lane being blocked by 413. Were parked in the ongoing Construction Zone. Especially if youre coming southbound along 95 in bucks county this morning i would still think alternates. Come down one to woodhaven and from woodhaven get back to 95 southbound or if you want to stay local use hulmeville road or state road. 13 bristol pike has been kind of busy. Coming southbound i would still avoid 95 northbound. Things are clearing up. On the big picture so far not so bad on other chunks of 95, the boulevard, the schuylkill and the blue route, most speeds s
Reopened. But theyre forcing you to make u turns before you get to the area about a mile in each direction. And then it is every man and woman for themselves once you get off 95. If you dont know the area, youre going on these back roads, and i will tell you this, bob kelly, once you get on route 13, and the other roads, when you get off 95, people are trying to make up for lost time and doing like 80 on these local roads. And were seeing people walk in the shoulder. So be careful, you dont want to cause something even worse, just because youre frustrated because 95 is shutdown. Bob, you have the detour, we dont know, because were not up there talk willing, how long theyll be with this, but generally they do this work at least until 5 00 in my experience on the way in from Bridge Street when theyre doing these signs. Youre right on the money, steve, great job getting stuck in the mess, then be able to report from the mess. Here is a live look at the crane. Thats the problem. The crane
