Ice Wreaks Havoc on Philly, NJ Bridges

The Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) reported all bridges were reopened after 10:30 p.m. Monday after icy conditions caused a shutdown on the eastbound Walt Whitman Bridge Monday night following a quick-moving snowstorm that coated the area.

None of the other DRPA-owned bridges were closed at any point, though heavy traffic was reported on the Betsy Ross Bridge, with some drivers complaining on Twitter of being stuck in standstill traffic for an hour or more.

Speeds are restricted to 25 mph on all four of the DRPA's bridges—the Whitman, Ross, Ben Franklin and Commodore Barry.

No major incidents or closures were reported in New Jersey, but several routes were closed down on the other side of the Delaware by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation because of ice.
