UPDATE: Crews removed a street light that fell near the entrance of Freeman Park.
Idaho Falls Power spokeswoman Joelyn Hansen says the street light toppled over on some restrooms. The wooden pole was beginning to rot at the base and fell over.
No damage or injuries have been reported.
That section of the road was blocked earlier while crews were working. Hansen says crews have cleared the area and the road is now open to traffic.
A new light will be installed Wednesday.
