Tony's in route, they are blocking the RAM,
00:21
but he's 10-2 for now, I'll be 10-8[2] from there.
00:27
If you want to start back up this way, it sounds like Tony's going to have to pull out the opposite direction.
00:31
And somebody's going to have to stay on southbound side until they get it farther into the median, if that makes sense.
00:37
And then we'll probably need another set of lights for when he toes it out northbound.
00:43
What's that for it? Where do you want to understand that?
00:49
For now, just kind of make it this way.
00:50
We'll see how far they get by the time you get here.
00:53
If they're pulling, I'll just stay on this side, and you can jump on the other side with 5-11 and at least do lights until I get farther around.

And then I'll, like I said, I'll flip around as well, and we'll have three on that side.
