Power lines fell across Route 128 near the juncture with Route 1 in Peabody, forcing the temporary closure of the northbound and southbound lanes during rush hour, State Police said.
It is unclear how the wires fell, but they landed on top of a truck, State Police spokesman David Procopio said.
It was the second major road closure north of the city today. Interstate 95 in Newburyport was closed in both directions for hours after a three-car accident involving a tanker truck.
Route 128 was completely reopened as of 6:30 p.m. police said.
