TV and internet cables lying across lanes of traffic briefly shut down the 405 Freeway in both directions near the Long Beach Airport Friday morning, according to authorities.

A big-rig hauling an oversized load ripped the cables down from a utility pole around 10:30 a.m. when it took the northbound 405’s Cherry Avenue off-ramp, which empties onto Temple Avenue near Spring Street, police and fire officials said.

The cables also pulled down a streetlight as they fell, Long Beach Police Fire Department spokesman Jake Heflin said.

The wires ultimately ended up draped across all lanes of the 405 Freeway near the Temple Avenue overpass, Heflin said.

Authorities said the truck was hauling a large storage container. The container missed snagging on any electrical wires, which were higher than the TV and internet cables, according to Heflin.

Crews cleared the cables off the freeway within an hour, and all lanes reopened around 11:30 a.m., according to the CHP.

However, a portion of Temple Avenue and the off-ramp remained closed for hours.

Police said no injuries were reported.

The were some internet and TV outages in the area, Heflin said.
