Race off and 35, we're on scene.

Kathy, and just for your information, we do have a bunch of shingles that were dumped on Highway 122 in the eastbound lanes.
00:19
The contractor is there to clean them up, but the DOT is wondering if we had anyone to assist with traffic control.
00:29
Well, I think they visit in the same area where we're at.
00:36
It's over at 5th in Monroe.
00:41
Well, everybody's tied up.
00:42
I don't know if there's a deputy or not.
00:50
I will check.
00:52
Otherwise, we'll check with a DOT, see if they have someone in town.

I'm at 19th and Pierce.
01:08
You can just clear me out that frog call.
01:10
I'll take it.
01:13
Time for the road debris?
01:22
Yeah.
01:24
Thank you.
01:32
17 checks.
01:34
I just went by those guys picking up the shingles.
01:36
They're actually bundled shingles.
01:38
It was like a whole pallet split out of the truck and landed on some boards, but half of it already back in the truck.
01:44
I just want to buy, but it is causing a traffic back up on the construction zone.
01:48
But I'm going to guess they're going to have a clean up in about another minute or two, so that's why.
