State is diverting them this way because 270 shut down, so I think this is going to be ongoing issue.

I can call over and see if they have any idea.

Just to clarify, so we have Grimm's on the way for one tow.
00:29
Do I need more than one tow right now or no?
00:34
No, one's fine for now.
00:37
Just making sure.
00:38
I'll call MSP and see what's going on.
00:43
And at 336, if Grims is just pulling them out, you could send them down to the other one.

So I just talked to MSD duty officer about the Urbana accident.
02:01
He said that it's going to be closed down for at least a couple more hours, he said.
02:07
He said they got two tractor trailers jackknit into each other, tows on the scene pulling them out.
02:12
They only have one lane open,
02:14
but he said it's a big mess and probably won't get better for a while.
02:22
Great.
02:23
116, Fred. Can you meet me on to you?
02:31
116, 104?
02:33
116. Hey,
02:36
talking to our caller down there off Thurston, it seems like whatever's happening on 270s, redirecting a bunch of semis, Thurston, and Dixon, then I've got to be able to make it.
02:45
Is there any way Toney Road should go out and post signs to have them reroute the maybe 355 South instead of Thurston Road?
02:55
I can attempt.
02:56
They're not on right now, so I'd have to pay someone out.
03:01
Okay, do we have any kind of ETA or anything on what's going on in 270?
03:07
Yeah, I just talked to the duty officer over at MSP, and he said that it's going to be a mess for at least a couple more hours.
03:14
He said they got two tractor trailers jackknifed into each other.
03:17
They only have one lane open right now.
03:19
They got a wrecker out there trying to pull them out, but he said it's still going to be a while.
03:25
And four, we can only do so much, I appreciate you.
