UK Police blocked off the area from the corner of Lexington Avenue and Avenue of Champions to the corner of Rose Street and Euclid on Wednesday morning after wind knocked over a power line.

The area was blocked off to prevent pedestrians from walking near the power line that was left dangling because of the fallen pole, UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said.

The power line was cleaned up by about 12:30 p.m. after police had been there for about an hour and a half, Monroe said.
