Power cuts temporarily complicate transport across Buenos Aires

Several areas of the City and Greater Buenos Aires were temporarily left without electricity earlier today, which caused delays on public transport and traffic flow through the city.

Power outages hit the neighbourhoods of Núñez, Belgrano, Recoleta, Palermo, Devoto, Agronomía, Saavedra, Munro, Vicente López and Olivos.

A spokesperson for Edenor energy company stated that the service was "back to normal" but the causes of the outage "had yet to be determined."

Traffic lights were cut off along main roads in the city such as Las Heras Avenue as well as Libertador, causing temporary tailbacks.

Furthermore, subways lines B and D and the Mitre train line were affected, in addition to Aeroparque Metropolitan airport.
