(Danville, Va.) — Danville Utilities crews and contract lineman continue to work 16-hour shifts to restore electricity in Danville and Pittsylvania County.

Utility crews are making progress, but are finding more tree damage and broken poles as they move through neighborhoods. It is estimated that between 2,000 to 2,500 outages remained Saturday night. Crews will start addressing the individual outages in which one house does not have service when their neighbors currently do.

The major sections in Danville without power remain West Main Street from the Old West End to Schoolfield and the neighborhoods off South Main Street. However, we expect to have service to these areas restored tonight. These areas have multiple issues with broken poles and fallen trees. There are problems in other neighborhoods around North Main Street.

In Pittsylvania County, the major areas still without power are Westover, Mount Cross Road, and U.S. 58 East/Mountain Hill Road.
