So far. All right. So 122 is apparently coming from South Side as well.
00:05
And I believe he was talking about taking the diversion from Northbound bypass to Ivy.
00:15
Okay.
00:18
All right. So I'll stick under two checks fire.
00:21
We're going to get some help from there.
00:25
So I don't have the north or the south down lane to ivy or old ivy handle.
00:32
Are you able to move yourself around to get to that side or not?
00:36
I can attempt to get around.
00:39
So if you go ahead and put you over to SA4, I'm rocking my brain for the fastest way for you to do that. Just stay in left.
00:46
Simple.
00:54
We've got people transport on a line.
00:58
They're asking if the wrecker that they're sending for the bus can use the emergency lane to access so that they can tow it somewhere.
01:07
Yes, bye.
01:09
The bus is drivable and the driver said that she's comfortable driving it if they're okay with that. It's got minor plumber damage. There's nothing heavy with this.
01:20
She's fine driving it if they're okay with that.
01:22
All right, could you ask her to go direct with her just back to them so that they can figure that out?
01:27
One or two, how do your traffic?
01:29
You can cancel calling CHS if you hadn't already and I don't need any status tricks.
01:36
Go on.
01:41
Two.
01:45
Does the county need me to shut down all traffic coming on to Old Ivy from the bypass?

02:23
EECC, AP-2-7-O-S-A-4. Go ahead.
02:32
What's having you call on?
02:35
So I clarified with them, they believe just no one will be able to go northbound, and they will only be able to go southbound.
02:45
Come on.
02:47
Yes, so far. I just wanted to confirm we're telling you to shut down the traffic or control the traffic for Old Ivy.
02:56
So there'll be, people will be able to access southbound I-pass from there, but there will be no northbound access, correct?
