Down power lines forced a significant power outage and road closure early Tuesday morning.
Police responded to a downed tree in the power line about a half mile north of Batesville on S.R. 229 between Pocket Rd. and Oldenburg around 4:20 a.m.
Duke Energy crews worked on the scene as nearly the entire town of Oldenburg was without electricity for three hours.
The lights came back on for residents around 7:30 a.m. S.R. 229 at Pocket Rd. has also reopened to traffic.
