All this traffic that's coming in off of Ivy Road, off that ramp,
00:05
it's going to continue until we shut down that ramp. Can you go up and shut that down and we can get the rest of this? If you can turn the rest of the stuff around that's still on the ramp.
00:19
Yeah, I can.
00:20
I'm going to get this porch through this curve here and then I'll do that.
00:24
That one, thank you.
00:26
The ASCAP 207. Go ahead.
00:29
What would you like to do about the incoming calls for no injury, no hazard,
00:37
vendor vendors due to this? We've got one that's still free to ivy.
00:41
Just see if they can exchange information.
00:45
No injuries have to pull over.
00:50
I'm sorry, yeah, when in your mic, am I good to tell everybody that as long as there's no injuries, no hazards, and so exchange is okay,
00:57

Yes, that's fine.
01:03
Okay, thank you.
01:05
Eighty-six.
01:07
Go ahead.
01:12
I'm sure it's already been done, but can you just make sure that VDOT select messages on all their boards around the area that the roads closed there so you can take with TSC? Yep, I'll check.
01:27
122 to 207.
01:32
Go ahead.
01:34
I shut down the ramp.
01:40
Excellent. If you just maintain a UPD officer to the top of the ramp with moving traffic through the intersection.
01:47
I don't see anybody hear about me. Okay, there was a UPD officer that was coming up the ramp, but I asked him to help with that intersection, but maybe he didn't get the memo.
02:02
I'll keep it on traffic. It seems like it's flowing right now. We'll move it better.
02:07
Yeah, anything you can do to get a little of this traffic that's backing up on the off ramp to get through the intersection better.
02:13

Use to TAP6, SA4. S.A.4.
02:34
They not advised that they've got one of their funds in this area with that information, and they've also got a contractor that's doing another one of their funds. Is that going to be enough?
02:48
Yeah,
02:49
I guess it just depends on how long this thing it actually goes.
02:52
As long as they have it on their interstate signs and then the one there at Seminole southbound at Dominion Drive, that would be helpful.
03:00
Any other ones in the area that it's closed both directions and track trailers are encouraged to go another direction?
03:06
Onerson, I'll double track.
03:19

03:43
The 6-5 is trying to make his way there.
03:46
Okay, 10-4. It looks like it's kind of felt diverting at this point anyway, but I just want to make sure somebody was on the way. Thank you. Okay.
