Residents of Behchokǫ̀, N.W.T., can expect a power outage this afternoon, after a piece of heavy equipment toppled a power pole, knocking out power and preventing people from travelling in or out of Rae. 
The road out of Rae has since reopened, but there will be a planned outage this afternoon to complete repairs, said the Northwest Territories Power Corporation.
The access road was blocked as the power corporation undertook initial repairs to de-energize the infrastructure, the power corporation says.
