BURLINGTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Crews in Burlington are working to repair traffic lights that came crashing down Thursday.
The lights at the corner of Middlesex Turnpike and Bedford Street have been taken off the street, according to police.
“I have never seen it in over 20 years where a cable came down, especially in such a major intersection like that,” Burlington Sgt. Tim Kirchner said. “I mean, telephone wires come down, cable wires come down, even power lines. But to see something that is that involved with something with that much structure on it is something we’ve never seen before.”
There are still no working traffic lights there, work is expected to continue late into the night to get the lights back up and running.
There were no injuries reported.
