More than 900 properties have had their power restored, after being without the utility for hours.
Duquesne Light crews were on the scene before 7 a.m. and power was restored before noon.
A section of Mt. Royal was closed near Duncan Avenue. Motorists were detoured to Sample Road and connected back to Mt. Royal and beyond.
