Transcript:
It won't smoke to the crew down there. The road is temporarily closed for milling. They tried to get four police officers, but nobody took it, so they have flaggers there. If emergency vehicles have to get through the flaggers can get them through the work zone, but it is coned off at West Silver and the Mill Street side trying to keep the majority of traffic out just so the crew can see if we work around the S-turn there, or the sharp curve there. (name withheld), yeah, that's (name withheld) right now. He's got her out for it. ...into headquarters, get a spare radio, and just keep the dispatch center and us advise of any road closures. Is there some reason they can't mill one side of the time? That's what they're doing. The problem is they, uh... have about seven dump trucks, a street sweeper, (name withheld), and a ton of other work vehicles, and there's just no room. So they have the road closed for safety to keep most of the traffic out by kicking them around the detour. Can you please determine the company and who's in charge and have them contact, Sergeant (name withheld), please?
