14. Stand by 14. Good evening. I'm with National Grid Park in Sosbury. You might be getting some alarms. There was some kind of a technical issue here. Can you just get permission to temporarily shut down the intersection and we got sides up and everything?

It sounds very quick. Dimitri, are you blocking the entire intersection or just a few lanes in each direction? We're going to have to block the entire intersection, Sarge. There's no lights, cars are coming, high speeds, can't see anything.

Yeah, only if you have detour signs to get around there. That's a major intersection. We got that, search. Thank you. DiMiji is still off the side of the road. I'll be heading down here, okay? I got that, thank you.
