A power outage in Center City caused traffic lights to go dark during the later part of the morning commute on Thursday.
JFK Boulevard and parts of the Ben Franklin Parkway were affected by the outage, NBC10's Sheila Watko reported.
PECO said it was caused by an issue with an underground electrical switch shortly after 7 a.m. There wasn't a transformer fire, but possibly some smoke.
SEPTA's Suburban Station was also briefly without power, but it's since been turned back on.
