Central Road closed in Arlington Heights by low-hanging wires

Central Road is closed in both directions between New Wilke Road and Dwyer Avenue in Arlington Heights because of low-hanging wires, officials said.

The lines were partially down when high wind gusts led one ComEd utility pole to crack and another to bend, according to fire department Lt. Rick Manthy. The village first reported the downed lines after 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Crews will be out until 8 p.m. reinstalling the power lines, according to the village's Twitter account.
