Crews have cleared the scene and Rockland Avenue has reopened to traffic after a brief closure earlier in the afternoon.
The City of Victoria tweeted the road was closed at the intersection with Moss Street around 3 p.m. Thursday. The city said a downed tree branch had pulled down utility lines.
By 3:30 p.m., no evidence of work crews or road closures could be seen in the area, and the City of Victoria has since deleted their tweet.
