A busy road in Clacton has been closed after power cables came down in the carriageway.
The B1027 St Johns Road is shut between St Osyth and Great Clacton due to fallen power lines on the road, causing disruption for drivers in the area.
Delays are being reported on surrounding routes as traffic is diverted away from the closure.
Motorists are being advised to avoid the area where possible and to allow extra time for their journeys.
A spokeswoman for UK Power Networks said: "Engineers are arranging traffic management to safely repair an overhead line in St John’s Road, Clacton.
"Work will be completed as quickly and safely as possible to restore power to one property.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
