Do I need to shut down both lanes eastbound or is traffic able to get through in that area?
01:15
We got a job and able to get over into the right lane.
01:19
When you get down there, if you just want to be half a mile around the 35 marker, just to close the left lane down.

All right, received.
01:28
Just let the fire department take one of the cutouts.
01:32
I got a rolling road slowdown to try to slow traffic for them.

They're taking it, they're taking the westbound.
01:42
We'll be there in a minute.

There is a DMV with a flat tire change here at the 324 eastbound.
01:50
They're changing their tire.
01:51
They're off on the side.
01:55
Received, sir.
01:56
Are they in the same spot or at least off the road?
02:01
They're enough off the road for now, sir.
02:02
We can check them later.
02:06

Here.
02:29
Yes, sir.
02:32
I'm going to take the high speed lane and push them all over here so we're not as close to the flame.
02:40
BA receives and that will be the eastbound side, sir.
