NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) — A power outage left a large section of Downtown Norfolk without power Thursday afternoon, knocking out traffic lights during rush hour traffic.
Approximately 2,800 customers lost power around 3:42 after a piece of equipment failed, according to Dominion Energy spokeswoman Bonita Harris.
The City of Norfolk tweeted that traffic lights went out along Brambleton Avenue corridor, from Colley Avenue to Norfolk State University.
Officials remind drivers to treat intersections with traffic lights out as 4-way stops.
Harris said repairs were completed and power was restored shortly before 5:30.
