Auburn police were directing traffic along a busy stretch of Grant Avenue on the city's east side after a power failure knocked businesses and traffic lights out of commission at about 1 p.m.
Officers with warning flares stood at intesections, alternately waving motorists through in different directions.
Workers at area restaurants and shops were seen standing outside their darkened establishments, as some businesses were forced to turn customers away.
At 2 p.m. the NYSEG Web site listed dozens of Auburn roads as having affected by the outage, as well as several in Weedpsort.
