BONNEVILLE COUNTY — First responders are on the scene of a power line that is about to fall across North Yellowstone Highway and East Industrial Road in Bonneville County.
The Idaho Falls Fire Department posted the alert on social media before 1:30 p.m. and asked drivers to use alternate routes. The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office is also assisting.
The wires are not live but will cause an issue if they fall, the post said. Authorities are still trying to determine the cause.
Traffic is being shut down in both directions on Yellowstone Highway from Industrial Boulevard to Iona Road.
Slow down and use caution around emergency responders and utility crews, the post said.
The estimated time for the road to reopen is up to two hours.
