A utility pole fire has resulted in the partial closure of a local road.
Units from Zelienople were among those responding at 1 p.m. to a pole on fire on Route 19 (Perry Highway) in Jackson Township.
A portion of the road heading southbound has been shut down and traffic is being diverted until further notice. Between 100 and 500 customers are estimated to be affected by that pole fire.
The cause of that pole fire is unknown at this time but power company crews have been dispatched and service is estimated to be restored by 4 p.m. Motorists in that area should expect delays.
