LARCHMONT, NY (March 31, 2026) — Con Edison crews continue to investigate and repair underground infrastructure beneath Chatsworth Avenue between the Chatsworth Avenue Bridge and Palmer Avenue following a fire Friday evening.
Officials said the fire is believed to have been caused by a fault in the underground electrical primary, though the exact cause of the fault remains unknown.
As repairs continue, properties in the surrounding area are being powered by generators. One lane of Chatsworth Avenue remains closed to allow for necessary road openings.
Con Edison estimates repairs will be completed by the end of the week.
Police officers injured during the incident have recovered. The officer who was transported to the hospital is expected to return to duty this week.
