Sunbury Road Temporarily Closed For Cable Repair
A semi-truck delivering materials on Chatham Ridge Road at Sunbury Road got tangled in a low-hanging fiber optic and copper wiring cable on Chatham Ridge, pulling it from the utility pole and dropping it across all four lanes of Sunbury Road.
City Electric crews were dispatched to inspect for damage to the poles or the electrical system. The damage was limited to cabling owned by AT&T, which arrived and authorized the city to cut the cable to reopen Sunbury Road, which had been closed in both directions for nearly an hour.
The city crew used a bucket truck to remove the downed cable from the truck and lift it over the street sign damaged by the cable being dragged across it, then helped haul the cable off the roadway.
