Temporary traffic lights have been set up in Bargates in Christchurch as emergency work takes place.
It is not clear how long the work by SSE will continue for.
Residents reported a power cut yesterday morning.
Traffic information service Inrix said: "Temporary traffic lights due to electricity work on B3073 Bargates around The Railway Pub."
We have contacted SSE for details.
Last night, the traffic lights led to delays around the area.
It comes months after the road was closed for weeks to repair a collapsed sewer.
