A collision between a car and a hydro pole on the east side has closed a portion of Loch Lomand Road at Little River in both directions.
Drivers are being advised to take the Airport Arterial or Eldersley Avenue.
It will be a while before the road is reopened because the hydro pole has to be removed first before the car can be towed.
Power has also been disrupted in that area and is not expected to be restored until later this morning.
