A portion of Boulder Highway in Henderson was temporarily closed Monday for repairs to a downed cable, according to the Nevada Department of Transportation.

The CenturyLink fiber optic line fell sometime Monday morning, landing across Boulder between Wagonwheel Drive and Roberts Road.

The road had reopened by 3 p.m., according to NDOT spokesman Tony Illia. CenturyLink crews had been working to repair the line, he said.

It’s unclear what caused the downed line.
