Power outage reported in North Arlington after tree falls along Military Road

Parts of Arlington’s northernmost neighborhoods are without power after a tree toppled along Military Road.

The arterial road is reportedly blocked by the large fallen tree, which took down poles, wires and transformers. Police, firefighters and Dominion Energy crews were on scene as of 5:15 p.m.

As of 5:30 p.m. the power company reported 725 Arlington customers in the dark, most of them around where the tree fell. Some Fairfax County neighborhoods are also part of the outage.

Power is expected to be restored at some point later tonight, according to Dominion’s website.
