obtaining a search warrant for newly discovered e-mails in the hillary clinton server scandal as a high-rank democrat accuses the f.b.i. director of breaking the law. >> sarah: and rob gronkowski breaks a patriots' record. see the play that had gronk taking a bow and going down in the history books. >> this is 7news "today in new england." >> sarah: first at 5:00, state officials are warning drivers on the mass pike to brace for big delays this morning. the electronic transition expected to cause huge headaches. good monday morning, everybody. happy halloween. i'm sarah french. >> christa: and i'm christa delcamp. we'll have team coverage in the air and on the ground, but first got to know about that forecast for all those ghosts and goblins tonight. here's chris lambert with that. >> chris: a whole bunch of them running around in the forecast. looking great, dry, a little bit on the cool side. maybe an extra layer underneath the costume. that will be just fine. cool at 5:00 p.m.

sun setting at 5:38. once the sun does set, you lose several degrees fairly quickly. temperatures back into the low 40s on average by 7:00 p.m. it also implies we get sunshine to warm us up during the day. temperatures currently in the upper 30s and low 40s will move up to near 50 if not the low 50s. we hold in the mid to upper 40s in the worcester hills throughout the day. here is your halloween forecast. a few more clouds around early this morning. otherwise mostly sunny skies and looks great for those little ghosnd running around the neighborhood, hopefully not too much of a sugar high out there over the next few days. and teachers, if you're worried about the kids, tuesday, wednesday, having too much sugar inside in class, get them outside. we have milder weather coming in here for tuesday, wednesday, and even into thursday. any rain on thursday holds off until after the school day. we'll talk more on that first coming up. >> christa: let's get right to that breaking news. drivers beginning to hit the roads for the morning commute. this is first rush hour commute

all-electronic tolling. you see from those live pictures the demolition of those tollbooths already starting. officials warning drivers patterns will look different today. >> sarah: we have live team coverage so you know what to expect on the roads. our coverage begins on the ground. jennifer eagan is live at the weston tolls. jen? >> jennifer: sarah, good morning. if you drive this way in the morning, your commute will be taking you through one of the 23 work zones along the pike. take a look at what's going on behind me here. crews have been out here tearing down the old tollbooths. this demolition will affect traffic. state officials have warned drivers, saying they expect road restrictions to back up traffic. traffic patterns are shifting at the tolls. drivers will be funneled to the outside lanes as the tollbooths on the inside are removed. expect lanes to merge leading up to the tollbooth and remember the speed limit still slows down to 15mph. >> if you can alter your work

that. if you can go in late or really early, this would be a really good time to do that. the overarching public safety message is please obey the 15mph speed limit. stay in your lane. and do not stop at the old tollbooth. there is nobody there to take your money. >> jennifer: so again, traffic approaching the tolls is down to a couple lanes. early in the morning commute it seems to be all free and clear at this point. expect all of this to go on through the end of next year. it does seem like they are making quick work of it so far. live in weston this morning, jennifer eagan, 7news "today in new england." >> christa: jen, thank you. our team coverage continues. john cuoco is on sky7 hmm d. with a look at conditions above. good morning, johnson. >> john: this is a day we've been waiting for, for better or

tolls. you see some of the construction going on here at the weston tolls. you'll notice a lot of cars moving through the cars right now. that's expected at 5:00 a.m. but this is one of those 23 work zones all along the pike that you'll see this morning. a lot of construction. it will probably look a lot different in about an hour or some one of the things jen had brought up in her live report was that 15mph. that's something they're really trying to, for word, drive home. even when you don't see a lot of cars on the road, use that 15mph speed limit going through because there is a lot of construction out there today. right now not a lot of cars moving through the tolls right now. you can see here, the construction in the center, they're moving people to the left and the right of that, but this will probably be a much different experience for people trying to move through these tolls if they're on their way to work, wherever they're going this morning, if they're used to going a certain way, it's

back the marshall hook who has a look out there on the road. >> marshall: indeed. from road level, from the air down to road level, we're at framingham. these are the route 9 tolls. you can see that guy said don't stop at the tollbooth, well, in this case there isn't much of a tollbooth to stop at. just the concrete outline where it used to be. that's the major part of the construction is the tearing down of all that. but once you get through it, evhi running pretty well. i think a lot of the delays will come just from people driving up to these toll boots and in the really knowing where to go. the good news is once we get past today, whatever delays we experience, at least to some degree, will probably lessen going into tomorrow, and as far as any other delays our there, danielle gersh will give us the whole traffic picture. >> danielle: you know, if you're getting ready to head out the door right now, you're in good shape. smart thinking. it's a look at the pike right now. we're not seeing any issues.

you're in good shape so far this morning. you can see all of that green. but as you've been hearing, give yourself some extra time this morning if you commute into town on the pike. north of town, route 2-s and 3 looking fine. 93 fine back the 495. heading into town on route 1, you're in good shape. braintree to boston northbound on the expressway, just ten minutes. an then south of town, route 3, 24 and 95 all looking good. let's take a look at those drive times if you're getting ready to head out the door. just ten minutes brailt -- braintree toos 12 minutes from 128. the "t" and commuter rail starting the morning on schedule. back to you, guys. >> sarah: be sure the stay with 7news for the latest on the toll changes when we aren't on the air, you can get updates online at whdh.com. >> christa: breaking overnight, a tractor-trailer crashing on 495 north in foxboro. officials say one person was injured. they were taken to rhode island hospital. crews working to get that tractor-trailer removed before the morning commute began.

one was rushed to mass general, the other was sent to salem hospital with her mother. the driver now facing very serious charges from o.u.i. liquor to leaving the scene of an accident. firefighters telling us that they want everybody to be extremely careful with everything that's going on today. it's halloween. it's salem. there's going to be a lot of cars. there's going to be a lot of people. and also, they say that if you're going make sure you don't get behind the wheel of a car. again, this driver was arrested last night. he's going to go before a judge later today. live this morning in salem, victoria warren, 7news "today in new england." >> christa: vicki, thank you. it's 5:08 right now. police are searching for two suspects after a boston college student was assaulted. the victim telling police she was followed on her way home, and that one suspect approached her, introducing himself as jimmy and proceeded to physically assault her. that student was able to break

ism welcome back. 5:15. everyone is hoping there's some nice weather for trick-or-treating tonight. >> christa: hopefully it will be dry. that's the main thing. but we know it might be chilly. you have to get the coat maybe underneath the garments there. >> chris: we can't hide the costume. the layer has to go underneath those costumes out there. kids will be running around. they're going to have so much energy.i they'll be warm enough with all the blood pumping. taking a look at forecast for us as we go throughout the day, we're done with the rain. that's off shore off to the east of us now in its wake. we have started to clear on out. i do expect quit a bit of sunshine through the day. not a bad start. upper 30s and lower 40s. there is a bit of a breeze outside this morning. it's consistent at 16mph in boston. 12 in worcester. so, yes, in the low 40s in boston, but it feels more like 35, feeling more like 29 degrees in worcester right now.

outside this morning, although probably not too many costumes at 7:00 a.m. walking out the door. it is halloween. perhaps your workplace does dress up for that. take a look at the forecast model for today, but tuesday into wednesday, it remains dry. so we have dry weather over the next few days. one thing you'll notice, temperatures warming up by mid-week. we're well into the 60s again on wednesday and on thursday. however, thursday will be the last day that we spend with temperatures well above average for this time of year. seven to nine days out ahead of us as this front will cross on throuh and behind it some cooler weather working back into and to get there we will gong.- through a band of some showers, so some rain likely late thursday into thursday night. until then we are dry. of course, that includes the all-important forecast for this evening. temperatures this afternoon running in the low 50s for many of us in eastern mass. mid-40s in worcester hills. so a bit of a cool breeze throughout the day.

have been close to season l levels if not below it there. and it's been dry. 2014 and 2015. we had partly cloudy skies in 2012. that was in the wake of hurricane sandy. the year before that in 2011, that was in the wake of the big snowstorm we had across much of new england. so we do have some issues or we did have some issues, leftover power issues or clean-up issues back in none of that this year. we're looking forward to a dry halloween. dry air mass in place. winds becoming lighter. once that sun sets, temperatures will fade fast. it will be a cool one for the trick-or-treaters outside this evening. not terribly cold, though. low to mid-40s. light wind should be fairly easy for them to keep warm. they'll be running around in the house. 26 to 38 eventually for the overnight lows. 26 in the colder suburbs. above 38 degrees in boston. take a look at the forecast over

well into the 60s on wednesday and thursday. and we cool it back down to end the week. guys? >> christa: okay. the patriots with a big win and a big game for gronk. >> look at that separation. he scores. touchdown patriots! >> christa: oh, yeah, and with a bow rob gronkowski solidifying his place in patriots' history. the tight end setting the record for most touchdowns in franchise history. so sunday's win definitely a little sweet revenge for new england after that don't want to talk about that anymore. here's 7's trey daerr with the latest from buffalo. tray. >>. >> definitely an honor to come home to my hometown and get that record. >> he's a dynamic player for us, there's in doubt. he makes great plays in the pass game. he's done an amazing job since he's been here. >> trey: no player in patriots' history owns more touchdown receptions than rob gronkowski, capping off number 69 with a little more than that

>> just bowing, it was awesome, but i want the giver a shout-out to my mom yesterday. the first thing yesterday, i saw her. she came to my hotel. we sat down. she said, "rob, i'm so proud of you when you score your 69th touchdown, so hi, mom, and thank you." >> trey: gronk the star of the game on a day when the pats' offense answered every buffalo touchdown. >> at some point they try the take a shot. that's when we got the take our shots. for tom brady, the one he gets to watch in the fourth quarter. >> i think the best part is the end. that's the best part. we've had a lot of experiences where there are 70,000 people against you and at the end there are 5,000 patriots fan on the road cheering for you. >> everyone talks all time, they got that win 16-0, 16 to nothing, whatever it was, i'm so glad we came in here and showed them what we're really about. >> christa: patriots 4-0 in tom brady's four games back and

. >> sarah: breaking news no a 5:30, drivers bracing for what could be a chaotic commute. it's the first big test since tolls across the state went electronic. >> christa: a deadly police shooting in the south end, why officers say they were forced to fire. >> sarah: and under attack, a masked man dragged an mbta trolley operator off the train and beat him. now he's on the run. >> this is 7news "today in new england." >> christa: all right. monday morning, 5:30. it's the last day of october and

french. happy halloween, everybody. the bug question is for chris lambert. how is first for all those trick-or-treat centers. >> chris: two thumbs-up. a little bit on the cooler side, but we are dry. we don't have to contend with bitter cold this week. 43 in boston now. 47 in worcester. 40 in bedford. the rain we had late yesterday and last night now off to the east of us in its wake. we're clearing out. should have a good deal of sunshine throughout the day. temperatures fairly steady. we'll increase several d quits in the low 50s on average. a bit of a cool breeze throughout the day, as well. 10 to 15mph. it does turn cooler as it goes through the evening hours. so once the sun does set, expect those temperatures to slide several degrees fairly quickly. what does that mean for the all-important trick-or-treat forecast around 5:00 p.m.? many towns averaging upper 40s and fade back to average in the low 40s by 7:00 p.m. more on that seven-day forecast ahead. >> sarah: back to breaking

officials have been warning drivers about. today is the first morning commute since the transition to all-electronic tolling began on friday. drivers should expect delays on the mass pike. >> christa: traffic patterns will look different out on the road. we have team coverage to get you started. we're beginning with jennifer eagan, who is at the weston tolls. looks like things are looking nice behind you for now, jen. >> jennifer: it's not too bad so far this morning. take a look further down the pike, th i coming toward us. you can see things are starting to possibly back up a little bit. that's in part because of the traffic shift, the shift in the pattern here. they're pairing things down the a couple of lanes as you approach the tolls. that's because they have been pairing -- tearing down some of the tolls here. they're working on the inside right now. so traffic is being routessed to the outside lanes at this point in time. transportation officials are saying if you can work from home, if you can shift your hours or possibly take the mbta,

because they do expect all of these changes, this demolition, the work zone here at the tolls along the mass pike to affect traffic and back it up. again, we've started to see things slow down a little bit here as we hit around 5:30 a.m. and again, also remember, as you approach the tolls, these speed limits still go down to 15mph here. that's what they want you to do. it could quite possibly really back up traffic throughout the morning. 7news "today in new england." >> sarah: our live team coverage continues with john cuoco who is in sky7 h.d. with a look at conditions above. hey, john. >> john: right now it's still a little bit early. not too many people out here on the roads. let's give you a look down there and give you a picture. this is a perfect fixture of what's going on here on the mass pike. you can see how construction zones are in the center. that's where they're doing most of their demo work. the cars are moving to the left

of cars on the roads just yet, but still massdot making sure people plan ahead. because this is probably going to be a much different experience than what people are used to. they want the make sure people get out here on the roads, give themselves enough time to get to work or wherever they're going today. so again, not a ton of cars out here on the roads just yet, but that could likely change in about a half an hour, maybe about an hour. you can see a lot more cars out here on the roads. jen mentioned it. sure people remember this, but people have to make sure that they she down through these work zones, whether it's like it looks now, with not so many cars on the roads, or when it starts getting a little bit more packed out there, but take a look with marshall hook out there on the roads right now. >> marshall: all right, john. from the sky down to the ground, and you can see that the dot has wasted no time with the sign boards. use caution, no stopping at the booths. that's what they say.

essentially getting on the pike from 495. as we come around the bend, you will see the construction here with the number of the jersey barriers up, the booths that are closed off right now. no destruction, no taking down of the booths has yet begun here, but they have closed them off. they'll obviously start. as we go through the tollbooth, nobody is there. you're not supposed to stop. you're just supposed to go through. once you get through that, witness you get on the traffic problems will be alleviated. most of the delays we see are folks approaching those tollbooths not knowing exactly what to do, going through them slowly and cautiously, as you should do. once you get on the roads, things moving just fine, at least now in the early going. for now the broader traffic picture, here's danielle gersh. >> danielle: thanks, marshal. things aren't too bad out there yet. definitely slowing down as you make your way through the tolls. here's a look at the pike right now. this is near allston-brighton. things looking good so far this morning. let's go to the maps.

pike. if you're headed out the door right now, you're in good shape. back to 495 through framingham, things looking good all the way inside 128 on the pike. so from 495 into boston pike eastbound right now, it's about half an hour. so that's pretty normal actually. now, north of town, route 2 and 3 looking good. 93 fine back to 495 still this morning. route 1 looking good heading into boston. now, south of town, we do have an accident, route 3 northbound, and that's at the braintree split. so that's probably going to slow things down south of town. good. so far this morning, let's take a look at those drive times if you're getting ready to head out the door. 11 minutes braintree to boston expressway. 12 minutes into town on the pike from 128. that's not too bad yet. 93 southbound, 128 to the zakim bridge, 11 minutes. the "t" and commuter rail running on schedule. back to you, guys. ism right now the investigation continues after police say they were forced to fire killing a mentally disturbed man who allegedly attacked offers with

it happened on shawmut avenue sunday morning. the man's mother called police to help her son who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. police say they opened fire on the 31-year-old after he swung a knife at officers and paramedics. >> unfortunately, you know, the officers had no choice. they fired, and, you know, they killed the individual. >> cops have to be especially proactive when it comes to approaching people first with weapons. >> sarah: several police officers and paramedics suffered minor injuries. the district attorney's office is investigating what happened. and police are searching for suspects after a terrifying attack on an orange line train in dorchester. investigators say a man wearing a halloween costume dragged the operator off the train and beat him on the platform at the cedar grove station early sunday morning. the operator was taken to the

sun setting at 5:38 tonight. the trick-or-treat forecast looking good. it is dry. start off around dinnertime in the upper 40s to near 50 and then slide back into the low 40s on average by the time we get into 7:00. then really falling off late overnight tonight in the suburbs. 26 there. 38 in boston. a bit milder tomorrow. mostly sunny skies. low to mid-50s. there is that 7 on 7 forecast bringing in the 60s on wednesday and thursday. cooler weather prevailing to end the week. >> sarah: all right. >> christa: we have breaking news. drivers beginning to hit the this monday. this is first weekday morning commute since the mass pike began all electronic tolling. so there's a live look at the traffic. looks pretty good right there. officials are warning drivers that traffic patterns will be different and that could mean back-ups later on. >> sarah: we have live team coverage from the air and on the ground. you know what to expect this morning. we begin with jennifer eagan live at the weston tolls. >> jennifer: sarah, good morning. things do seem to be slowing down here a little bit.

heading toward us on the approach to the weston tolls. part of the problem here is the lanes are merging approaching the tolls. that's because they have been tearing down the tollbooths on the inside. so you're being shifted to the outside lanes as you approach the tolls. state officials have said if you can possibly work from home, shift your hours or take the "t," this could be the week to do it. this could be the time to do it if you're passing through one of these work zones along the pike. they do expect this to take some time. yo still supposed to slow down to about 15mph as you passes through the tollbooths, but you don't stop and give anyone money because there's in one. there again, these are the old tollbooths now as the state shifts over to electronic tolling. so here this morning, we've seen things slowing down because again, it is down to just a couple lanes as you pass through the tollbooths, not too bad, but do expect a back-up this morning. we're live in weston this morning, jennifer eagan, 7news "today in new england." >> sarah: all right, jen.

john? >> john: so we're up over the western tolls right now. we can give you a really good look at something construction and some of the cars coming through the area. take a look down there right now. so you can see some of the work that's being done right there in the center of the mass pike. this is one of those 23 work zones going on right now. so the other thing you can see here, cars moving through fairly smoothly. it is starting to slow down just a little bit now that we're getting later into the morning. so this is what throughout the morning, cars moving through those tolls. the one thing that mass dotted really trying to drive home this morning, people need to be prepared, people need to leave early, but this is going to be a different experience than they're used to if they're on their way to work. they need the plan ahead. that's the key here for people this morning, making sure they plan ahead. the other thing, make sure they drive through these tolls slowly. there's a 15mph speed limit. mass dotted making sure people abide by that this morning because it's going to be a lot of construction going on.

like this morning, people moving through the area, fairly smoothly. that could change obviously as we get closer to 6:00, maybe 6:30. things might start getting more backed up. but for a few of the roads themselves, take a look with marshall hook. marshall? >> marshall: john, right here on the roads we are getting on to the pike from route 30 here on the natick-framingham line. and you can see the traffic is starting to build. whereas the last couple construction going on. this one is in full demolition mode. ands that restricting the ability for cars to kind of get through the access. this is what's going to cause the delays that we're going to see. once those booths that are full destruction mode get going, you're going the clamp down on the ability for cars to get through, and that's what we're seeing here at route 30. sign boards everywhere, police are out directing traffic, and again, now there is traffic

danielle gersh. >> danielle: thanks, marshall. as you just saw, getting on to the pike, those ramps really slowing things down. once you get on to the roadway, it's in the as bad out there. this is a look near allston-brighton. things are going fine. let's go to the maps now. maoly green on the pike. not seeing any major delays other than what you just saw from marshall. so 495 to 128 not too bad aside from where they are doing that demolition work. and then 128 into boston pike not looking too bad either. so right now the eastbound from 495 into the city, about half an hour. so pretty normal. route 2 and 3 slow and go, 93 looking pretty good. route 1 no issues. braintree to boston, northbound on the expressway, 21 minutes. we had an earlier crash right at the braintree split. that's cleared some good news there. route 24 stop and go back the brockton. let's take a look at those drive times if you're getting ready to head out the door this morning. 18 minutes on the expressway braintree to boston. still just 12 minutes into town on the pike from 128.

wind-chill factor this morning. feels more like 29. more like 36 in town. we've cleared things out quite nicely. expect a good deal of sunshine throughout the day. a cool breeze this afternoon. temperatures fading back fairly quickly as we go into this evening. clear skies. the breeze will slacken later on today as well, which is good news certainly for those trick-or-treaters out there. forecast 5:00 p.m. on average, 48 degrees, and by 7:00 p.m., i think we'll fade back to about 42. ghosts and that extra layer underneath the costume, but overall with little wind out here, it will be a cool evening ahead of us. a bit of a warm-up mid-week to talk about in the seven-day forecast ahead. >> sarah: sounds good, chris. thank you. back the that breaking news. mass pike drivers heading into first rush hour commute with electronic tolling. live look from sky7 h.d. this is the weston tolls. crews have made quite a bit of progress, and it look like traffic is moving pretty nicely at least at this point.

pushing traffic to the outer lane. >> sarah: we begin our team coverage at the weston tolls. that's where we find jennifer eagan live with conditions there. good morning, jen. >> jennifer: sarah, good morning. as christa said, traffic is moving along. it's slowing down on your approach to the toll here. this is the eastbound side heading toward us. if you drive this way in the morning, you commute will be taking you through one of the 23 work zones along the pike. not all of them are active right now. crews have been out here tearing down the old tollbooths. first big test of how all this demolition will affect traffic. state officials have warned drivers, saying they expect road restrictions to back up traffic. traffic patterns are shifting at the tolls. drivers will be funneled to the outside lanes as the tollbooths on the inside are removed. expect lanes to merge leading up to the tollbooth, and remember the speed limit still slows down

>> if you can alter your work schedule in any way, this would be a really good week to do that. if you can go in late or really early, this would be a really good time to do that. the overarching public safety message is please obey the 15mph speed limit. stay in your lane. and do not stop at the old tollbooth. there is nobody there to take your money. >> christa: so again, a live look here at the exside of the pike on the approach to the westbound -- on the approach to the tolls. it slowing down just a little bit here this morning. state officials have said expect all of this work to continue through the end of next year. live in weston this morning, jennifer eagan, 7news "today in new england." >> sarah: all right. let's get a better look at the commute from above. en's john cuoco reporting from sky7 h.d. good morning, john. >> john: good morning. for better or worse, this is a day i think a lot of people have been anticipating, and right now it's a little... it's fine out there on the roads. take a look down there right now.

you can also see those cars moving through pretty smoothly right now. what you can tell from this picture, you can see how they're pushing the cars to either side while they're doing the construction down the center of the pike. one of those 23 work zones out here. but again, so far not a lot of traffic just yet. most cars moving through the area just fine. you can tell the volume has picked up from the 5:00 hour. as of right now, everything looking fine out here on the roads. we have man out on the roads right now. marshall hook. we'll see what he has to say. >> marshall: yeah, john cuoco. this is the approach to those tolls. if i look up, i can see john cuoco up there in the helicopter. so far we're moving along. we're going the speed limit at this point as we approach. now, just off to our right, those are the folks that are getting on 128.

will keep us on the pike. and this is just a typical morning commute. in fact, i dare say it's a little bit lighter than we would typically see at this hour. so maybe folks are heeding the warning about changing the hours of their commute, but as we approach these tollbooths, folks will only be slowing down to git to that 15mph speed limit. once we get through to the other size side, i believe things are moving pretty well, but to be sure, here's dwur gurr to tell us about the whole traffic >> danielle: hopefully you didn't just jinx us, marshall, but is far he's right. traffic is picking up, but we're not seeing the red brake lights. good news there. let's go to the maps. mostly green on the pike from 495 over 128 and enter boston as you can see. so the drive times from 495 into town eastbound on the pike, 31 minutes. so pretty close to normal for this time of the day. where you're slowing down is on the ramps getting on to the pike from 495. and then as marshall was saying,

side, but not so scary. we kicked the rain off to the east of us. for the most part we dried out. 47 in worcester. 4 the 3 in boston. a couple ocean effect rain showers across the mid to outer cape. the rest of us drying out. cool breeze throughout the day. temperatures averaging low 50s across eastern mass. holding into the mid-40s out through worcester county. then you get into the trick-or-treat part of things later on today and early this evening. 5:00 p.m., i think we'll average we fade back until about 42. so a quick drop-off this evening, but the winds also dropping off. so we have a bit of a breeze through the day, but overall dry for trick-or-treaters with the diminishing breeze this evening. milder mid-week, 60s, maybe near 70 wednesday into thursday. possibility we'll talk more on that on your seven-day forecast ahead. >> sarah: breaking on mass pike, drivers heading into the first rush hour commute with electronic tolling.

the demolition of the tollbooth is pushing traffic to those outer lanes now. >> christa: looks like they made a lot of progress here in the demo. we have live team 7 coverage. let's begin in weston. there you see 7's jennifer eagan. jen, it looks like things are going smoothly is far. >> jennifer: christa, good morning. there is some back-up as you approach the tolls here, but as you said, things are moving through here. the speed limit does reduce as you go through the construction ne traffic is being pushed to the outside lanes because they've been tearing down the booths on the inside. this is first phase of demolition. there are 2023 work zones along the pike at these old tollbooths. the demolition and the road repair after is expected to take until november 22nd for the first phase. then demolition will begin on outside tolls in phase two. so again, note that the traffic pattern is shifting during all of this. state officials have warned this

if you can possibly work from home, if you can change or shift your hours at all or take the "t," this would be the time to do that. as we just mentioned a moment ago, the speed limit reduces down to 15mph through these construction zones, and again through the tollbooths, as well. there are a lot of law enforcement and crews out here. they want you to be careful of everyones that in this area as this demolition goes on. and again, traffic is slowing down a little bit. but it is stillin here. live in weston this morning, jennifer eagan, 7news "today in new england." >> christa: all right, jen, thank you. take a look from above. sky7 h.d. john cuoco is reporting for us now. john? >> john: we've been up over the mass pike all morning. we started at the weston tolls. we've now moved to the allston brighton tolls. take a look down there to see how it looks. this is pretty much the same story we've been seeing all morning. you see the construction right there in the center. you see cars moving off to either side. and it's been a fairly good

the volume has picked up a little bit. but this is sort of what we've been seeing all morning. cars kind of moving through the area slowly. but the key this morning, is to be prepared. mass dot telling people that they should anticipate a different experience than what they're used to on their usual morning commute where they're going to work on anywhere else. they should expect a little bit more of a back-up. but from what we've seen this morning, we've been up since at 5:00, this is sort of the same picture, the construction going on in the center, cars movin should anticipate maybe a little bit more of a difficult commute as the morning continues. mass dot telling people even though it look like this, definitely still go slow, 15mph. make sure people abide by that. marshall hook out there on the roads right now. what's it looking like for you, marshall in. >> marshall: well, we're down on the ground right where you're above us. we're going through these tolls. this is not the main

you can't see. these are the ones as you get off the memorial drive area. but you can see a quick ride through. the tollbooths are shut down. the traffic pattern once you get on the pike is the same as it's always been. i said it before. i'll say it again. it seems as though everyone is heeding the warning to either alter their commute times or find an alternate way because we are not seeing the heavy traffic that the dot warned us about, at least not yet. i take that as good news. and danielle gersh will tell me that i am trying again, right, danielle? >> danielle: you don't want the speak too soon. still give yourself plenty of time. better to be safe than sorry, right? here's a look at the pike. this is about a mile before the allston-brighton tolls. you just saw a live picture of what it look like there. here also not looking too bad. let's go to the maps. you'll see mostly green on the pike this morning. you're slowing down a little bit through framingham as you pass over 128. certainly not seeing any of those major delays that we were kind of expecting.

mostly sunny. more clouds across the cape. here's trick-or-treat forecast. not scary. it's on the cooler side side by the time we work into the evening because of diminishing winds and clear skies. temperatures will fall down fast tonight after sunset. sunset 5:38. 42 degrees on average by 7:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. back into the 30s. cool start tuesday morning. nice afternoon. wednesday and thursday. we cool it back down heading into the weekend. >> sarah: mass pike drivers heading right into construction zones this morning as the toll plazas are getting torn down. this is a live look from sky7 h.d. over the allston brighton tolls. ism we begin our team coverage at the weston tolls with 7's jennifer eagan. she's live with conditions there. jen? >> jennifer: sarah, good morning. traffic is slowing down a little bit as you approach the weston tolls. this is the eastbound side closer to us. you can see all the headlights there.

outside lanes because they've been tearing down the booths on the inside. this is the first phase of demolition. there are 23 work zones along the pike right now, as these old tollbooths are torn down. the demolition and the road repair after it is expected to take until november 22nd. that's the first phase. then demolition will begin on the outside tolls in phase two. state officials have warned this will slow down traffic around the old tollbooths. they can possibly work from home, shift your hours around at all to avoid the peak times of the commute, or possibly take the mbta, this would be the time to do it. the speed limit is reduced down to 15mph through the construction zones, and the lanes this merge ahead of the tolls. and then also as you passes through here, down to 15mph, we've seen a lot of law enforcement. then, of course, the crews themselves in this area. so you want to be careful. again, traffic investigate down

new england." >> sarah: let's get a better look at the commute from above. 7's general cuoco reporting from sky7 h.d. good morning, john. >> john: we've been over nass pike all morning. right now we're over the allston-brighton tolls. take a quick look. you can see that construction going on right there in the center. you can see some cars to the left and right there. they're moving through slowly. that's been the story so far early this morning. not too much traff cars having no problem getting through the tolls this morning. and that construction going on right there in the center. but for the dot, really the key this morning is for drivers to be prepared, because there's probably going to be a different experience than what they're used to on their typical morning commute. drivers need to have a plan, probably need to leave a little bit early, and they need to be ready for some potential back-ups, but right now this morning, for the most part, it's been a smooth commute.

let's go to marshall hook out there on the roads and see what he's up to. >> marshall: i'm going to verify that for you, john cuoco. we're going opposite the commute at this point, but we denied you a look at those allston-brighton tolls last time through. we're approaching them now. you can see there is a lot of construction going on here, but even counter the commute, not a lot of traffic. even with the commute not a lot of traffic. so far things moving pretty well this morning. we've been through about nine tollbooths, all looking pretty that for us. >> danielle: that's right. the only place you're really slowing down this morning is as you just saw, as you head through the tolls. also the ramps getting on to the pike near 495, some delays as well. but on the roadway looking pretty good. this is about a mile before the allston-brighton tolls. look at the pike. let's go to the maps. mostly greene. not too wad. slowing down a little bit through framingham, but no red. no major delays out there. we have disabled vehicle on the
