A power outage has hit the inner-city Auckland suburbs this afternoon, leaving 2300 homes and businesses without power until almost 7pm tonight.

Ponsonby and its surrounding suburbs are affected, after a line went down on Franklin Rd.

Reports came through of the outage at 3.40pm this afternoon, and Vector says it is not expected to return until 6.40pm this evening.

Auckland Transport has issued a warning for commuters as the outage will affect traffic lights during the major commute times.
