(Update) Shortly before 5pm, St Joe police advised that the traffic issues along Frederick had been resolved. An earlier power outage affected hundreds of KCP&L customers including traffic lights in the area.
That prompted warnings to avoid Frederick from 22nd to Woodbine. Traffic lights were out and congestion mounted at Noyes, and at the Belt Highway.
According to the KCP&L outage map, fewer that five customers remained without power by 5pm
