Gloucester City, New Jersey firefighters battled a crane fire close to the Walt Whitman Bridge.
Tuesday morning, just before 10 a.m., a fire started in the vicinity of the 100 block of Essex Street.
It seems that a crane operating on the cargo ship Pacific Harmony is where the fire originated.
According to Philadelphia emergency management officials, smoke was evident as fire fighters struggled to contain the blaze in the South Philadelphia region.
According to the Delaware River Port Authority, regular traffic patterns have resumed on the Walt Whitman Bridge notwithstanding a reduction in speeds.
Delays are to be expected into New Jersey due to a nearby fire on the Gloucester City waterfront. Speed limits are also minimally reduced. Further information will be made available by Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA)
