HENRICO COUNTY, Va. β€” A stretch of busy West Broad Street in Henrico County reopened Sunday morning more than 12 hours after a crash damaged a utility pole and closed all lanes of travel.

The single-vehicle crash happened around 6:55 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of West Broad Street and Hollybrook Avenue, officials with Henrico Police said.

"A utility pole was compromised and utility lines are down across all lanes on Broad Street at Hollybrook Avenue," police said.

As a result, Broad Street was closed between Parham Road and Skipwith Road in both directions as crews worked to repair the damage.

Police estimated that the closure would continue into midday on Sunday.

However, officials said around 10:30 a.m. Sunday that all lanes were back open as the work on Broad near Parham had "moved off the roadway."

Officials said the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
