Police said no one was hurt, but the pole was split in half and left leaning into the roadway, which made it unsafe for traffic. The closure affected the stretch between Columbia Road and Katie Lane, and drivers were detoured around the area.
Eversource crews responded early Tuesday morning to repair the damaged pole.
