A power outage at a traffic signal on West Coast Highway, just west of Newport Boulevard, caused a traffic jam this morning, creating a parking lot on PCH that reached all the way into Huntington Beach.
As of 8:30 a.m. power to the light has been restored, said Newport Beach Police Department spokeswoman Kathy Lowe.
Traffic is slowly moving again and may take some time to work itself out, she said.
