Power has been restored to an area of Madison’s west side after being out for about an hour due to a failure of equipment at a substation.
Madison Gas and Electric spokesman Steve Kraus said power was restored at 11:10 a.m. in an area from the Hilldale Mall shopping center east to the UW-Madison campus. The problem was at the Walnut Street sub-station.
Police had been directing traffic at several intersections because of stoplights not functioning.
