A large power outage after a fire is causing trouble for the Friday morning commute, and police are now asking you to stay away from some intersections if possible.

The Winnipeg Police Service says they are directing traffic at intersections without lights. 

However, in order to reduce delays, they are asking the public to avoid those intersections if possible.

The affected intersections are:

  • Main St. & York Ave.
  • Israel Asper Way & York Ave.
  • Pioneer Ave. & Waterfront Dr.
