Authorities are warning motorists to avoid the intersection of Route 25 and Route 111 in Trumbull, which is near the Monroe town line, due to a power outage and the loss of traffic control signals.
A dump truck collided with power lines following an overnight paving project in the area, Trumbull police say.
The collision caused damage to several utility poles and the loss of power for all nearby traffic control signals.
The Route 25 and Route 111 intersection is currently without power, causing traffic delays throughout the area.
According to police, the area will be affected for at least the next 12 hours, and drivers should avoid the area for all of Saturday and use alternate routes.
Trumbull police and Connecticut Department of Transportation will be assisting with traffic control at the intersection.
