Elizabethtown saw traffic delays and other disruptions Tuesday during a widespread power outage. 

The outage area covered Dixie Avenue from around Mulberry Street to around Veterans Way, Mulberry Street from downtown E-Town to Ring Road, and neighborhoods west of the Elizabethtown Bypass. At one point, more than 6,000 Kentucky Utilities customers were without power. The outage began at around 10:30 a.m. and power was restored to affected customers by around 2 p.m.

Several area businesses and organizations had services disrupted by the outage, including Quicksie and The Wolf which were both briefly off the air. Elizabethtown Community and Technical College closed campus for the afternoon.

Elizabethtown Police Department Public Information Officer John Thomas said EPD officers manned intersections that were without power as available, and Thomas took to Facebook with a friendly reminder for drivers.

“We’re getting lots of complaints about intersections without power and people just running through them willy-nilly,” Thomas said. “Look, when you come to an intersection that has no power, the traffic lights are out, treat it as a four-way stop, an all-way stop. Everyone has to come to a stop. That is not optional, people. No power at the intersection, everyone stops.”

Kentucky Utilities has not yet responded to a request for information on the cause of the outage.
