Oncor: All power restored in Tyler after transformer failure

UPDATE: An Oncor representative said that as of 1:35 p.m., all power has been restored.

TYLER — According to our news partner KETK, multiple traffic signals are without power throughout the city including several on Broadway Avenue. The traffic operations department has deployed generators however some intersections will remain without power. According to an Oncor representative, a transformer fell at a substation at the intersection of Grande Boulevard and Broadway Avenue.

“Drivers should treat a ‘dark’ traffic signal as a four-way stop—each vehicle comes to a complete stop and takes its turn to proceed through the intersection,” city officials said.

Oncor said power should be restored at around 1:30 p.m. and about 6,300 customers have been affected.
