Get through this other, this traffic backlog with this accident being my worker 35.
00:07
You've got an accident.
00:09
There's plenty of people on their way.
00:11
We need you up there to help him shut down.
00:17
I understand, but this is out of gridlock right now with this accident.
00:23
Can you send somebody down, or Traffic 101, can you send Traffic 102 down to assist 100?
00:34
One. This intersection is pretty much policing itself.
00:38
Is there something I can assist with?
00:43
You have that left lane closed?
00:46
Yeah,
00:50
yeah, you want to jump back around and help traffic one or push traffic off the highway.
00:55
All right, we do that.
01:03
Thank you. Thank you.
01:09
Thank you very 7.
01:10
Thank you for the stage in the field.
01:18
Turned over to EFS now.
01:21
57. Okay, 1924.
01:25
But if he can, he can go down and take over for 31 where he left CVS.
01:31
So nobody turns up and tries to get on 83 northbound there.
01:37
Old York Road in front of CVS shut down the left-hand turn lane.
01:43
Tommy, I think you heard and he can drop some codes there.
01:48
Just leave a little room, Parker, in case EMS comes back up the wrong way so they can get out.
01:53
And I'll keep sending everything down Evergreen.
01:58
Traffic points the traffic sucks the traffic 68.
02:02
Good.
02:05
I just talked to PSP they said there's no way I'm getting through this other action and it's disabled right in the middle.
02:16
Copy go available.
02:19
I'm going to be sitting here in the middle of everything.
02:26
Copy. Copy.
02:31
3031 from practice one.
02:37
from 31.1.
02:41
Would I be easier to access where 100 is by going northbound and then backing up on the highway,
02:53
since I'm not going to be able to access from Lewisbury due to the secondary accident?
02:59
Yeah, that's a good idea.
03:02
Go up, get on at Northbound.
03:04
I think FP2 has this car blocking there,
03:07
but you could probably get around it and back down the head and that'd be great.
03:14
Hi, golly. I'm going to say I haven't totally shut down.
03:21
You can either back down and drive down, which way you want to do.
03:29
Gate from FB2.
03:32
Sir.
03:39
Exit for 436.
03:46
And copy your whole message.
03:49
Again, sir, they must have shut down interstate 83 north prior to exit 36.
03:56
I no longer have a traffic coming on the highway at exit 36.
04:04
Okay, so they didn't want to close down at Louis Ferry.
04:09
They must be closing it down the exit before 36, which would be exit 35.
04:14
That's correct.
04:16
Yeah,
04:19
they have another accident down there.
04:21
I'm just not sure exactly where it is.
04:24
All right, well I've got your traffic units from 100, or one of the units traveling south found in the northbound lane, now stopping at the off ramp at 36.
04:38
Correct. That should be 102.
04:44
Okay, this will leave the intersection on that clear.
04:51
About that secondary accident down there.
04:54
What I need to do.
04:57
Yeah, copy.
04:58
I'll just leave cones up here that Chuck Town on the ramp 83 and I'll take a look there.
05:05
Okay, thank you.
05:10
Coming at you?
05:13
No, it's completely blocked here with this other accident,
05:18
probably 355, like they were saying.
05:23
Is that after he off ramp or before?
05:29
It's between Louisbury and then here, between 35 and 36.
05:35
Okay, then stay put where you are then.
05:38
Thank you.
05:42
Sorry, I copy him,
05:44
681. Do you just stay here with the lane on-rant close?
05:50
Yes, please.
05:54
Okay, so our only other problem then will be traffic coming off of 35 north and then trying to get through Old York Road and Windermere.
06:03
If you have somebody that can come and block this on-ramp, I can take care of that intersection if you want.
06:13
I'm Radnor.
06:14
Let the lights take care of Wind up there in Old York.
06:17
It would be our best bet.
06:21
I copy, sir.
06:22
I'll see with the on around then.
06:23
It's going to be something further.
