Bronx into UES affected
Eyewitness News
(New York - WABC) - Eyewitness News has learned of scattered power outages in the South Bronx into Manhattans east side.
The Transit Authority says service is affected on the 4, 5 and 6 lines and E & Z on the east side and the D train in the Bronx.
Trains are moving, and running on DC power, but the signals are what's affected because they run on AC which is supplied by Con Ed.
The source of the problem is not known.
Residents said traffic lights were out for 20 blocks on Lexington Avenue between the 60s and the 80s, while others said that the East Side subway lines weren't operating.
Con Edison couldn't say how many customers had lost power. The city was in the second day of temperatures well over 90 degrees.
The Transit Authority says its problems started after 3:30 p.m.
The NYPD tells us they are getting outage reports in the 19th pct and the 23rd on the Upper East Side, and 44 pct in the Bronx.
