We might still slow roll that and shut off that right lane. Is that three lanes out there?

 It's mostly in the center lane. Everybody's able to drive around, but it's in all three lanes just a little bit, but like I said, it's only in the center lane.

 We might take that right lane as well. That way it'll give them somewhere to run all that stuff off to that right shoulder once ODOT gets out there.

 So, they just leave that left lane open if that's all right with you.

 94, we copy. We'll head out there and help them shut it down.
