Loose cables cause 2 lanes to close on I-11 in Las Vegas
Two northbound lanes were closed on Monday afternoon on Interstate 11 after cables were reportedly hanging from the Valley Drive Overpass.
Highway Patrol closed the lanes around 1:50 p.m. to avoid semi-trucks and box trucks from striking the electrical wires south of Lake Mead Boulevard, according to Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Shawn Haggstrom.
All lanes reopened around 5 p.m. Monday, according to Highway Patrol.
Police do not know how the cables came down, but said the wires were not a threat to the public, Haggstrom said.
