42. Go ahead. If you can advise Metro, we're gonna be shutting down the bridge. Both directions? Affirm. Any other car? It looks like District 1 might be helping us out, but yeah, if you could start another car. Okay, anybody that can start towards the viaduct? If we could have a vehicle shut down eastbound traffic from Westwood onto the viaduct, that'd be great. Okay, anybody close that can start that way? 32-36, I'm leaving the academy now, I have to start that way. That would be perfect, thank you. Thank you.
