A hundred-some Dominion customers are without electricity along Old Dominion Drive after a tree fell on power lines.
The outage is affecting the Rock Spring neighborhood in far northern Arlington, including the area around Discovery Elementary and Williamsburg Middle School. A portion of Fairfax County is also within the power outage boundaries, as listed on the Dominion website.
Old Dominion Drive is expected to remain closed near the Arlington-Fairfax County border for at least four hours, as the fallen tree is removed and the lines repaired, according to scanner traffic.
Dominion lists the estimated time of power restoration as between noon and 3 p.m.
The outage comes as thunderstorms are expected in the D.C. area this afternoon.
TRAFFIC ALERT: Old Dominion Dr. is shut down in both directions near Cloverlawn Ct in Mclean. A tree is blocking the road after falling on power lines and a car. No injuries were reported. Work crews are on the scene to clear the road. Please use an alternate route. #FCPD pic.twitter.com/e1fCWvdZB2
