About 6,000 Nova Scotia Power customers in Bedford were without power Thursday morning.
Halifax Regional Police say there was an accident in the 300 block of the Bedford Highway, around Kearney Lake Road.
Nova Scotia Power crews were expected to be on scene most of the morning to repair a power pole.
The power came back on before 8 a.m.
The Bedford Highway, from Kearney Lake Road to Flamingo Drive, is closed in both directions. Please avoid the area and use alternate routes.
