I see you have a second caller, or did they update the location?

The underpass would be on Tony Road 2 and I'm not seeing anything here.

I got about three troopers there. I can talk to them.

If I could start directing traffic over toward the north end of the bridge, so I'll try to get in there.

Justin, when you get up there initially try to take both lanes and direct them to that off-ramp for Benton Drive and then as more cushions show up, I'm right behind you too, but as more cushions show up, we'll do a typical lane closure pattern, but for now, just try to block as much as it can with the police and fire or whatever's up there.

Okay.
01:37
Okay.

Joe, don't forget that on-ramp comes around there too, so you have to block that off.

02:27
Yeah, it's wet.
02:33
Granite, too, you want to come this way and jump on that on-ramp?

On this crash on Highway 15 on the Mississippi River, I'm going to push traffic off onto Benton Drive. They still may try to sneak on from the on-ramp, but I've got a vehicle coming to close that off too. So in a few minutes here we should have it shut off and all that traffic should be flushed off.
