IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - The Idaho Falls Fire Department, Bonneville County Sheriff's Office and Idaho Transportation Department responded to N. Yellowstone Highway just before 1 p.m. Monday to address an issue with a power line that was about to fall across the roadway.

The wires are not live, but they will cause an issue if they do fall.

Please use alternate routes.

Slow down and use caution around emergency responders and utility crews.

The estimated time for the roadway to reopen is about two hours.
