ground might patch potholes until wait wet
When you patch potholes in wet weather, you might as well be patching with oatmeal. We have to wait until the ground dries up.
area closed dark debris drivers figure figured lane run until worried
We're going to keep the right lane closed indefinitely for now until we can figure out what to do. This area is kind of dark at night, so we were worried that any drivers would run into the debris that comes down to the road, so we figured just close the right lane down as a precaution.

We gotta let the ground dry out a little bit first.

And we can't afford to have traffic on the freeway at the time because it creates vibrations and that affects the way the concrete sets properly.
job point precedent safety traffic whether
Safety at some point is going to have to take precedent over convenience, but that's some things we're going to have to take a look at, whether we can do the job without really hampering traffic or not.
call felt mistake
The supervisor who made the call has not been reassigned. He has been disciplined and it will go on his record. They felt it was an unintentional mistake and they felt he wasn't profiting from this.
