Philadelphia Police and Fire Department are now investigating after they found an oil sheen floating on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. The oil sheen was spotted at around 4 p.m. yesterday on the portion of the Schuylkill River between the Spring Garden and Chestnut Street Bridges. The Philly Police are working to find where the spill happened.

Some of Pennsylvania's highways will be getting a speed change over the next week. Crews will be changing the speed limit to nearly 1,000 miles of the highway to 70 mph. The changes will happen on 396 miles of the PA Turnpike, as well as 400 miles of five PA state highways. 200 miles of state highways were changed to 70 mph already in 2014.
