Widespread power outage in downtown Hampton reported

HAMPTON, Va. — A large portion of the downtown area in Hampton is without power Wednesday morning, according to city officials.

The outage extends from LaSalle Avenue in the west almost to Mercury Boulevard, in a narrow band just north of Settlers Landing Road to just past the Bright’s Creek area.

As a result, Hampton City Hall is closed for the remainder of the day, and some city employees are working remotely.

Ruppert Sargent and the Hampton History Museum aren’t affected, and both buidings are still open.

If you’re driving in this area, officials ask you to use caution, since some traffic lights may be impacted.

According to Dominion’s outage map, over 1,500 total customers are impacted.

The wait time for this power fix could be several hours, according to Dominion.

It isn’t clear at this time what has caused the outage. If you’re outside of this general area but still are without power, contact Dominion Energy at 866-366-4357 or click here.

As a college student, making an extra buck now and then was very important. I started as a part-time reporter since I was 19 yo, and I couldn’t believe it might become a long-time career. I'm happy to be part of the Virginian Tribune's team.
