Flood Call 96
The caller from the Highway Patrol office calls Communications to ask about the status of Highway 2; the operator replies that the road is closed between Columbia and 42nd and has been for the past 2 days. The caller asks if the road is detoured and who to call to find out, to which the operator answers either the state dept or the city, since Gateway is state highway, but she's unsure.

Highway 2, by going out of town, you're okay, you can get around it, is it covered at all?
If you can get out of the city, I mean it's closed from Columbia to 42nd.
On Highway 2, it's closed from where?
Columbia to 42nd.
Columbia to 42nd.
It's been that way for a couple of days.
Okay, cripes, I haven't been out.
Okay, but is there a detour around it?
I would assume there probably is. I guess I haven't been out there myself. I don't know what direction.
Okay, well who would know if it's detoured by signs?
What would I call to find out?
I would assume that would be State Highway.
State Highway, wouldn't they?
I don't know if they would.
It's in the city limits, I guess that's what I just assumed.
Gateway is City.
I mean, Gateway is State Highway.
Okay.
So I'd assume that they would do it, I don't know for sure.
Alright, thanks.
