Power Outage in Crystal City, Arlington Ridge

Dominion bucket truck near North Glebe Road (file photo)(Updated at 3:50 p.m.) About 800 Dominion customers are without power in the Arlington Ridge and Crystal City neighborhoods this afternoon.

The outage was reported around 2:45 p.m.

At least one traffic signal was reported to be without power in the area, as nearby Oakridge Elementary was preparing to dismiss students for the day. Police are on scene.

Dominion’s website is estimating a 5-9 p.m. timeframe for full restoration, although some areas have already had their electricity restored.

One resident said the timing of the outage, on one of the coldest and windiest days of the winter so far, could cause problems for some.
