They signal at the desk. Received. Or attend dispatch. All right, I just went down South Maple and spoke 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 poned off at West Silver and the Mill Street side, trying to keep the majority of traffic out just so the crew can safely work around the S-turn there, or the sharp curve there. Here's you. Getting there, recent. We have the Gannis right now. He cut her out slowly. Dispatch center and us advise of any road closures. Is there some reason they can't mill one side at a time? That's what they're doing. The problem is they uh have about seven dump trucks, a street sweeper, the miller, 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. Yeah, we said 400.
