Some of Detroit’s municipal buildings as well as downtown traffic lights and the People Mover are without power. Parts of the Wayne State University campus in midtown also have no electricity.
Power went out just after 1:00 p.m.
City crews and DTE Energy are working to fix two main electrical lines to the city grid, according to Bill Nowling, a spokesman for emergency manager Keyn Orr. Nowling tells 7 Action News the outage was done as a precautionary measure.
Buildings without power include the Coleman A. Young Municpal Center, Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, the McNamara Federal Building, parts of Wayne State University, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit People Mover and the main branch of the Detroit Public Library.
The City of Detroit Public Lighting Department provides electrical power to these sites. DTE Energy tells 7 Action News they are assisting in the effort to bring electrical service back online.
DTE says a cable failure occurred at 12:45 p.m.
