Rescue 5 and the Collapse Rig and the SOC Support Truck are now placing plywood under the overpass to catch debris that is falling onto the expressway so that we can reopen the highway. We still have only the HOV lane in operation, all other traffic is being diverted onto the service road at Clove Road. The overpass will remain shut until the arrival of the DOT supervisor.
