Did you know about the detour on a 10? It's just the one block, looks like right here at the bridge we have to make a right.
00:08
Am I going across the wide bridge?
00:11
No, the high-level bridge, I believe.
00:15
The number 10.
00:19
Okay, 1st of all, I've heard of it.
00:21
What's going on?
00:24
It looks like a water main break.
00:26
They got everybody going this way.
00:29
Once you cross the bridge, right after your time point, you have to make a right, then a left and a left, and then back to regular route.
00:37
And you say that's outbound or inbound?
00:41
Outbound only.
00:45
Okay, I copy.
00:47
Yeah, they got the detour signs up.
00:51
Yep, I'm gonna have to see about this.
00:54
I'll have to let you know this left turn they got me making.
00:56
They got the road closed sign right there, and I guess I gotta make this left turn around the road closed sign.
01:04
I'll see how it works.
01:06
I don't know.
01:08
I copy. Is anyone there that they can move it back?
01:12
No, they're actually working up there where the water main break is at on State Road.
01:20
Okay, so on the outbound we just need to follow the road closed signs.
01:28
Well, I'm now right here at Grant.
01:32
I can't,
01:34
I guess I got to go up another.
01:36
Oh, I see (name withheld).
01:37
I got to go up another street.
01:40
I think I'm going to come up by that CVS up there.
01:43
I guess I can go straight.
01:45
Yeah, I believe he's turning on Chestnut.
01:48
No, they're actually working up there.
01:51
Water main break is at on State Road.
01:55
All right, I'll head that way.
01:59
I copy. Once I made the turn, I got to sit here for another 2 min because of my time point.
02:05
22 to Mobile 5?
02:08
Tuesday.
02:10
Yeah, they do have State Road Chestnut here.
02:16
I think I'm going to have to make a left.
02:20
I don't really know which way to go to get around this, but they got the road closed off up here.
02:28
So I could try to go left and go right, head up to High Bridge if you want me to.
02:34
That'll probably get me around.
02:37
Go ahead and try it.
02:39
Let me know.
02:40
I'm on my way up there.
02:43
All right, copy.
02:46
Sorry about that.
02:47
I didn't know it was inbound either.
02:48
I thought it was just affecting outbound.
02:52
Oh, that's okay.
02:54
It looks like they have a right lane open for you, but they got me closed.
03:00
Okay, mobile block eight, mobile five.
03:02
Yeah, that worked.
03:03
I mean, mobile six.
03:04
Just follow the cone to Chestnut.
03:08
Left on Chestnut, right on State.
03:11
Back up.
03:14
Okay, (name withheld).
03:15
I came down 19th to High Bridge and I could have came down 20th.
03:19
But anyways,
03:21
they have a road closed sign there with the detour sign up, but I have to be able to get through because that's the way (name withheld) went through.
03:28
Do you want me to go around that barricade?
03:34
Which one did you use,
03:37
block A? Which road did you use to get out?
03:41
Oh, it's the 1st .
03:42
Once you get over the bridge is the very 1st street by that car dealership.
03:47
I don't know the name of this street, but that's where they got you going.
03:51
That's the only turn you can make.
03:55
Yeah, that's High Bridge.
03:56
I can see it coming up.
03:59
I can probably get around that.
04:02
Signal One, (name withheld).
04:06
Yep.
04:09
Okay, (name withheld).
04:10
I made it through, but yeah, it's going to have to be done differently than that too.
04:14
I had to cut through cones to get back over to the high level, but you'll see it's dead-ended when you get over there.
04:23
Okay, so you used a high-level street to come across, he said?
04:29
I did, but it's—I had no other option what to go that way, but it's not a good way to go.
04:38
That's coming inbound.
