5-640 is sending 6,000. Got the weather looking for the visual 3-4 Ray. 640, I ask the approach. One way 3rd is currently closed right now. There was a bird strike and they're doing an inspection. I'm not sure how much longer it's going to be. Just continue inbound and be set up on first May 5,000. Okay, copy that. We'll continue inbound. I guess we could hold it. We need to just keep us updated on timing. Click 640-Wise. Tower, live-clote 640. Like-cloth 640, Jeff. Just wondering if you guys had a time frame on how much longer both runways will be closed. Gladquered 640, still waiting on a vehicle to come out here. I got hold of them about 10 minutes ago, so it shouldn't be too much longer before one starts an inspection. We're about seven minutes out, but we can hold if needed. We were just trying to figure out if we need to go to a different field or not. It should be, this is just a rough estimate for maybe like 15, 20 minutes. Copy that, thank you. We got an update from them. They said maybe 15 minutes, so we could go hold over MASB as published for now. Quest 640, Quicks, MASSB, and Crosk, Mast B, Heather of 4,000. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Qlick Mastby holds South as published and anything 4,000. Expect further clearance at 0100.
