Okay, I just spoke with OSP Cleveland, and they advised that there's an oversized load blocking the lane up there, getting onto the turnpike. That's the reason for the backup.

All right, thanks. I've not got any more calls on it. It may be gone.
03:47

I'm going to be Signal 2 from Great Lakes and I'm going to circle back to the 177 to check on the damage. I believe that he said a signboard got hit during all of this.
04:10
Okay, thanks, 2026A.

I'm going to be signal one at exit 219.
04:28
Traffic is backed up probably about a quarter mile on 76, entering on the turnpike. Traffic is still getting by.
04:38
I haven't found the vehicle yet.
04:41
Go ahead.
04:44
Are you near the backup?
04:46
He's actually stuck in the lane. Troopers on team with him. If you could just monitor the backup.
04:51
Right, I'm at the 219 right now.
04:54
Copy. Do you have me a monitor on 76 then?
04:58
That would be fine.
05:00
Copy.
05:02
Okay, if you're at the back of the backup, just stop on the right side of the road there and turn your lights on and keep going to the back of the line to bring attention to it.
05:11
All right? Go ahead.
05:15
You don't need to solve the oversized problem with 1457 or the gate solve it.
05:21
You just stay to the back of the line so that way no one gets an ACDA[1].
