WINNIPEG – Thousands of Winnipeggers were without power as they started their morning routine Tuesday after power went out in St. James and parts of north Tuxedo.
Manitoba Hydro staff restored power to all customers at about 7:45 a.m., spokesman Scott Powell said.
The lights went out at about 6 a.m. in an area stretching from King Edward Street west toward Sturgeon Road and from Wellington Avenue to the Assiniboine River. Parts of north Tuxedo across the river were also out.
Traffic lights were out throughout the area, including on major routes such as Route 90 and Portage Avenue, causing major traffic headaches. Police directed traffic at a couple of major intersections and some lights were working again at 7:15 a.m.
