FARMINGTON — Crews were working to restore power throughout Farmington after multiple reports of outages Thursday.

Eversource was reporting nearly 150 outages in Farmington and 1600 in New Britain.

Farmington fire officials say Main Street is closed between Farmington Avenue and Porter Road due to a downed tree across the road.

It has not yet been determined when the roadway will reopen.

According to officials, one vehicle struck the tree.

Firefighters and medical personnel were on scene.

UConn Health’s Farmington campus was also been impacted by the power outage.

Officials said appointments in Outpatient Pavilion, MSI and Main Hospital Clinics were cancelled Thursday afternoon.

Additionally, all dental appointments and classes have been cancelled and will resume tomorrow.

Dental emergency services should be referred to the Emergency Department, according to UConn Health officials.

All other UConn sites are conducting business as usual.

Power was later restored Thursday evening.
