S-15 or S-19, if we get somebody there at Walcott, Trayview and just start forcing everybody north, but we can probably get this probably pulling again quite quickly.

Hey firm, 151 to 659, CFD is out here saying that they're opening up the roadway and traffic's moving.

Do you still want us pushing traffic northbound on the walkout?
04:23
Yeah, it's still back up here and just backing up everywhere.
04:26
If we can just get this flowing again, once I clear, you clear the queue there, we can get this open and traffic can flow pretty freely.

04:59
A little too cold for bicycles today, but yeah, they got traebus right down the gas leak and they're just starting to open it, but everything's packed up on the freeway and until you're roaming, so trying to avoid that major accident out there.
05:15
All right, once I'm done with this, I'll head over around Hillier's Drummond.
