Good morning.

Exit 8. Right shoulder closed.

And we have Route 9 closed in NASA between Grau Road and Kingman Road due to a gas leak.

Hi, Jack, very good.
00:36
Coming down, Northway Southbound, we got off exit 9 because it's pretty much at a standstill and backing up even more.
00:44
So we're seeing, you know, the remnants of that, the backlog getting ready.
00:49
So I'd advise anybody coming northway, southbound, taking all the proof around exit time.

Police are on the scene.

Looks like a truck with another vehicle involved in emergency vehicles are on the scene.

Something's going on there.

So that's another factor here that we got to deal with this morning.
