Yeah, Sarge, we're probably about maybe 300 to 400 yards from the split. 10-4. That's what the map looked like. I was just confirming. South units, just let me know if we can get 485 from 77 shut down, and then the additional coming to Westinghouse, we'll need you to see across from me, get the second ramp shut down to 485 from Westinghouse. 10-4. 22-1105, I'm getting off on Carowinds now, 77 south, so I'll turn around and head back up and cut it off.

Ladder 20 is on scene, command. We're going to try to move some of this traffic for you. Copy that. I got my company coming down with medical bags. I believe if we could just get that ramp closed, we might filter through some of the traffic that's stuck in the one far left lane. Alright, 10-4. You got medic coming down also. 10-4.
