A power issue caused the lights to go out at the U Street Metro station earlier this morning.
A Metro spokesperson confirmed the station had a “power issue” that affected its lights but not its rail service.
The lights came back on around 10:17 a.m., Metro tweeted.
U Street: Power has been restored, all faregates and escalators have returned to service. 10:17a #wmata
