The fiber optic phone line, owned by Verizon, fell at approximately 3:12 p.m., and blocked the freeway in both directions at Culver Drive.

Department of Water and Power and Verizon workers arrived on the scene at about 5:34 p.m., and after almost five hours, raised the fallen wires that were obstructing the road.
