MT. LEBANON, Pa. — About 800 Duquesne Light customers were without power for an hour and a half in the Mt. Lebanon area after a utility pole caught fire there.

The incident shut down the road between Washington Road and Cedar Boulevard during rush hour, which caused major traffic problems in the area.
A Duquesne Light spokesman told Channel 11 that an underground cable failed, which caused the utility pole fire.
Power was restored to customers just after 7:30 p.m., Houy said.
