SALT LAKE CITY — The only road heading up and down Little Cottonwood Canyon was closed after power lines and wires were knocked onto State Route 210 early Wednesday.

Utah Department of Transportation officials reported both directions of the road were closed at approximately 10:30 a.m. It's not known why the powerlines fell, although heavy winds across northern Utah were the likely factor.
