(Updated at 10:25 a.m.) Nearly 300 Dominion customers are without power in Crystal City and Pentagon City this morning.
The outage is due to scheduled work to replace an underground cable along Crystal Drive, according Dominion spokesperson Le-Ha Anderson. Power should be restored by 4:00 this afternoon, she said.
In addition to buildings, the power outage is also affecting traffic lights in the area. We’re hearing that the traffic lights are dark at the intersections of 15th Street South underneath Jefferson Davis Highway and 15th Street South and Hayes Street (since restored).
