River One, go ahead.

00:31

I don't know if you're coming from the truck station, but if you got a blade, might be the easiest.

00:36

There's not much left of it and traffic's flowing really fast.

00:39

It's right before the exit to 197th there, right by the Harley dealer.

00:46

All right, 10-4.

00:47

Yeah, nobody's even in till seven.

00:50

I'm guessing that thing's going to be pretty much gone by then.

00:56

We'll swing by here and take a look at it.

00:58

It's pretty difficult to get out on the southbound lanes this time of morning.

01:01

Yeah, just one, maybe half a quarter left down the Skip Street.

01:06

It's not really causing any issues out there.
