Power outage affects 3,000 KU customers in Caldwell, Crittenden, Lyon counties

A widespread power outage affected as many as 3,000 Kentucky Utilities customers in Caldwell, Crittenden, and Lyon counties on Monday.

The Crittenden Press reported that a cut line in Caldwell County was the reason for the outage. 

The city of Marion was completely without power, including the two traffic signals downtown. 

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Marion Police had to temporarily direct traffic at both of those intersections. 

Power was restored to all customers by early Tuesday morning.
