HECO crews closed Farrington Highway near Kaukama Road to fix a damaged telephone pole that left hundreds in West Oahu without power.
Power was restored to more than 1500 customers in West Oahu who were affected by an outage early this morning.
The outage occurred at about 6:24 a.m. after a vehicle crashed into a power pole on Farrington Highway, suspending the power lines but not breaking them. By 10:47 a.m. power was restored to all customers in the area, said Hawaiian Electric Company spokesperson Janet Crawford.
HECO crews closed both westbound lanes near the intersection of Farrington Highway and Kaukama Road and traffic is being contraflowed while they assess the damage to the power pole.
