They are taking 75 north all the way down to a single lane at exit one over here.
00:07
Haven't even got to the rest area yet and they're forcing everybody all the way over to the left.
00:13
So I don't know.
00:16
Guess that explains why everybody was stopped.
00:23
Well, I mean, I guess they got their reasons, and I guess there's things they got to do.
00:27
It could have been an emergency repair.
00:28
I mean, I don't have enough info to speak, but it,
00:34
you know, with all the truck traffic that intersect carries, especially at night, it's just, you just kind of think there just had to have been a better way to do it, but maybe not.
00:51
Well, Dave, I am turning into my driveway and we'll be parked in another minute or so.
00:57
So good luck the rest of the way home, Chief.
01:00
I hope you get there quicker than it sounds like you will.
01:04
And enjoy seeing you at the meeting and the dinner tonight.
01:07
W4 EDP.
01:10
Have yourself a great evening, sir.
01:13
Good to see you and talk to you as always.
01:16
And yeah, it looks like they closed off the 24 split.
01:22
So nobody is coming from 75 north to 24 west.
01:27
That just isn't going to happen tonight.
01:30
Really strange.
01:32
Whatever.
01:33
All right, have a going.
01:34
We'll catch you later.
01:38
Wow, that's going to be a huge mess before it's over.
01:42
W4ADP, have a good one.

Good evening, Matt.
02:11
Hey, good evening.
02:13
Hey, are you stuck out the interstate? Is that what I heard?
02:19
Yeah, they shut down all the lanes to the right,
02:23
on 75 North,
02:26
right at exit 1.
02:30
So we're down to a single lane.
02:33
And it looks like, I can't tell, but it looks like they shut down the 24.
02:40
75 north to 24 west is shut down from what I can tell.
02:47
If it's open, it's going to be way up there right at where they make the split, but I can't see that far ahead.
03:00
Huh, that is weird, I wonder if, uh,
03:04
wonder, my mind immediately goes to, uh,
03:09
I wonder if it was like an accident with fatalities.
03:12
Uh,
03:15
I don't know, that's just kind of where, where my mind went, uh, if they shut down that much of the interstate, uh,
03:24
but, yeah, that, that's kind of strange.
03:32
I'm basically at the rest area exit from 75 north here on the Tennessee site.
03:41
If the cones weren't there, I could get off at the rest area.
03:47
But anyway,
03:49
yeah, I see a lot of lights flashing up on the 24.
03:59
I guess the 24th, the ramp I guess that goes to 24 west.
04:04
So anyway, yep, there's blue lights up there.
04:33
I don't know.
04:34
It looks like that's really weird.
04:37
I guess it's construction.
04:40
But I thought all that was done with.
04:42
But anyway, they got the,
04:45
I guess it is open for them to get up and go over 24 West, but it's down to a single lane again like it's always been.
04:51
But they've got construction workers up in the and a police car up on top.
04:56
So I don't know.
04:57
I'm not sure what.
04:58
going on.
04:59
But anyway, regardless,
05:00
I am now moving at posted speed, so that makes me happy.
