Correct, in 17 and 14. Hey, if you go to my 24-7 and just come back and slow the traffic down coming through that smoke, then all they're going to close that in front of that, it's not blame, they'll be able to fight it from there. But if you'll, y'all will slow the traffic down, it's piling up on the eastbound side. 10.4, I'm 19 from HUB 262. 17, same driver. D4C, let's have a D10 or 97, we're going to have the inside lane shut down westbound 252. Okay, D4C. Okay, D4. Okay. Do we need to set the interstate down? I was public service with (name withheld) just a second ago. I wasn't sure what was going on, but we got several people heading down that way or already in that way. Just let them know where they need to go. If that's over the 247 and kind of help with the eastbound traffic, westbound, if the smoke's not affecting it, we're just having to use the inside lane to fight the fire in the median, but the eastbound is less affecting, and it's true. 104, we'll get on it. 104, thank you, Captain. 6-7-2-D4, I'm here, about 251. I mean, deputy, you're trying to move people over to the right lane. It's about zero visibility. At 104. Well, I got the one out at the 252. The bad ones now here in this curve at the 251. Correction. 250 and a half, almost a 251. 33. St. Francis County is going to have an outside lane shut down here for the 248 Westbound. It's oversized load. It's hanging off into the outside lane. I'm out with it. 1040, 33. 6.72, what about? 6.72? One of the inside of lane, I-4 eastbound, about the 250. The shutdown, right lane's still open. This thing, guys. 250. Turn to the right.
