Both direction of Highway 84are blocked at Cañada Lane.
Fire crews were on the scene waiting for Caltrans and PG&E crews to arrive.
The incident was just short distance from the the Woodside fire station and crews were on the scene shortly after the branch fell.
Update: At 9 a.m., a tree cutting crew from Caltrans was standing by waiting for PG&E crews to remove the power cables.
There was estimated time given by the San Mateo Sheriff's Office.
