WATCH: Traffic trickles through the Calgary Trail and 34th Avenue intersection on Monday. Here’s a bird’s-eye view of the mess.
EDMONTON — A power outage on Calgary Trail wreaked havoc on Monday’s afternoon commute.
The lights were out at 34th Avenue, which turned the usually-busy intersection into a four-way stop and transformed Calgary Trail into a parking lot. Backed-up traffic stretched all the way to Whitemud Drive.
EPCOR could not comment on what had caused the outage but said crews were working to restore power.
The power outage stretched from 103 to 106 Streets between 28 & 45 Avenues.
There was also another outage in north Edmonton, which left the area of 97 to 127 Streets between 140 & 167 Avenues in the dark. by 10:30 p.m., power in that area had seen been restored.
An EPCOR worker told Global News that some southside residents could expect to be without power until at least 11 p.m.
