Two busy Warren County intersections have outages at the traffic signals.
Thousands of Jersey Central Power & Light customers are in the dark and traffic signals have outages at two busy highway intersections.
Pohatcong Township Mayor James Kern III said the township is aware of outages at both the Route 122 and Route 22 and the Route 519 and Route 22 intersections. Huntington Volunteer Fire police are assisting with traffic around the intersections.
A JCP&L outage map is showing 1,081 customers in the Pohatcong and Mansfield township areas without electricity.
The power outage was caused by work being performed at an Alpha substation, according to Kern. An inquiry for more information has been sent to a JCP&L spokesman.
Crews are working to restore power within an hour, Kern said.
