By Benjamin Flowers: Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) personnel were on the George Price Highway today in an early morning effort to address a potential electrical hazard.

A broken post with a transformer on it was seen on fire near mile 3 on the highway shortly after 7:30 a.m.

Crews managed to address the issue without major incident; however, the power to several areas will be down until mid-day for the repairs to be complete.

Those places include the portion of Cemetery Road from Partridge Street to Western Avenue, the portion of Police Street and Eleanor Usher Street off the George Price Highway, Krooman Road, Fabers Road from George Price Highway to Krooman Road, the portion of Lake Independence Boulevard from George Price Highway to Holy Emmanuel Street, Westlake, Western Paradise, Sunset Park, and Western Pines.
