The Burlingame overpass was expected to be shut down until noon today.
The U.S. Highway 101 Broadway overpass, which was closed over the weekend after a construction crane crashed into a transmission tower, reopened today a few hours ahead of schedule, according to Burlingame Police.
The overpass was expected to reopen at noon but police said around 9:30 a.m. that it had reopened early.
All lanes of Highway 101 were closed for much of the weekend after the crane crashed into the transmission tower at about 9:30 p.m. Friday, leaving high-voltage power lines blocking the highway, according to the California Highway Patrol.
