8.0, ECC cleared to 965-3. All right.
00:08
Hey, I need the next record off rotation,
00:12
sort of.
00:14
They need to come from the south side, basically,
00:17
because this is the bridge accident that I'm working.
00:21
Anyone from the north side will be able to get to this crash.
00:26
So I need somebody from the south side,
00:29
so they're coming from the south.
00:31
It's got one flat tire, the driver's side front flat tire is flat.
00:37
And I'm on the bypass at Old Ivy Road Bridge.
00:42
EUCCA, please, sir.
00:44
Thanks.
00:47
We're trying to get calls from people who are outside about the traffic. We've tried with that is that there are...
00:54
Do you want to handle those? You're going to give them to somebody else?
01:01
You can just hold them.
01:03
Daylight Lieutenant or something can handle it, but you can hold them for now.
01:07
Nothing else we can do about this point. I'm trying to get hold of VDOT. Can you, actually I was going to call you, can you see if a VDOT representative can give me a call and try to call their instant manager person, the contact I have, but I didn't get an answer.
01:19
Cover.
01:25
122 to 207. Go ahead.
01:32
I'm over here on Ivy is heading into the city, not away from the city.
01:36
Everybody's trying to merge into one lane.
01:40
Is there a way I can shut down this light so I can control it better?
01:44
Do you mean you want to try to put it on flash or what? I put it on flash, that way we take it just to me, not the light.
01:53
Yeah, UPD might be able to help with that.
01:56
EEC from 207.
01:59
Sorry, as part of when I was on the table of VOT.
02:01
What do you do to do?
02:06
Hey, J.R.ACC, you can carry this location.
02:11
CFUPD has a traffic key that could set the light that 122 is sitting at on flash temporarily so we can better control the intersection.
02:22
All right. I'm sorry. I had traffic on one. The lights where 122 is sitting.
02:32
Yeah,
02:33
if UPD might have a traffic key to turn this light over the flash. Okay, we're passing along now.
02:45
22, there's a VDOT truck coming up the ramp right now, I think, with some signs in the back. You may want to check see if they have a key.
02:54
I was on location.
02:57
Correct.
03:02
EPC-o-7.
03:09
You can even look for instructions about how to handle the traffic for Old Ivy. I've advised them to please just shut it down completely for now until we can get everything else worked out.
03:21
You can go forward with that. Yeah, that's fine.
03:24
If they can just allow local traffic only.
03:27
I'm sorry.
03:33
50 for AP 207. Go ahead.
03:41
A mile of a car gut came off the northbound ramp should be right there behind you.
03:47
I don't know if it needs some assistance getting turned around.
03:55
Tires on it. Well, I got you.
03:58
I think VDOT right now is going to set down at Barracks in 29.
04:03
And they're going to shut down the 118 exit to go northbound.
04:06
So I think they're going to try to divert everybody to the 124, just so you're aware.
04:13
All right, copy, guys. Thank you.
04:17
122 to 207. Great.
04:20
I know this is a little bit chaotic, but it might help the IV road situation if we divert all traffic onto the bypass that's going eastbound.
04:29
That way, I only do with the people on the ramp.
04:36
All right, I'll give you a phone call trying to understand what you're saying.
04:39
Okay.
