The intersection of Greenbelt Road and Rhode Island Avenue (by the 7-11) was shut down from all directions this morning due to a downed Pepco line. Verizon Fios lines were affected, as well. The intersection has reopened.

Pepco was on site working to correct the impact on its lines, and now Verizon has taken over. It seems a Verizon telecommunications line was struck earlier at the intersection. Verizon is on the scene working to fix the issue, which they expect to be resolved by this evening. About 1,500 customers are affected.
