Hey, if you can and safely do it, if you want to start diverting traffic down Fobber Road, it's probably going to be shut down for a little bit of time right now, but that could be probably the best option for now.
00:16
10-4[1].
00:19
7 from 6.
00:23
6 to 7.
00:27
Hey,
00:28
I'm going to call Nelson and just give them a heads up since all that traffic will be coming out on Route 6 so they're aware of.
00:34
All right, 10-4[1]. They just got the driver out of the cab,
00:43
and they're getting ready to load him up. So we might be able to get one lane.
00:47
I think Troy's coming down here with the wrecker, but it's going to be a while to get this thing cleaned up, at least on the shoulder.
00:56
Yeah, speaking with 48 on the phone, it sounds like you're probably going to need to close the whole thing with all the equipment that he'll have down there and in the road, probably.
01:03
So I think maybe we can open it if we can, but for now it sounds like we're just running out forward. Is that kind of what you're saying?
01:10
Yeah, except for it, that's probably going to be the best option.
01:13
There's several tractor trailers. Do you think they're going to be good on Pover Road making it all the way through?
01:23
Yeah,
01:24
we might be able to keep the trailers on monikins.
01:29
Once we get the squad out of here, we can move the engine off a little bit, just open up the left lane for a period of time until Troy gets here.
01:37
Yeah, that's probably better. I would keep, just filter out the track trailers out of there. I'd just be concerned if somebody catch landing here or something on one of those cracks.
