The incident happened on Kingstown Road, right outside the South Kingstown Police Department. Route 108 was shut down from Saugatucket Road to Southwinds Drive.
Rhode Island Energy said weather-related issues may have caused a transformer to blow. A live wire was seen burning on the ground.
The roadway has since been reopened.
