UPDATE: Phone Outage Could Last Until Midnight, Longer

Bad news if you’re one of the roughly 150 people without a landline phone in Bridgewater.

A Bell Aliant spokesperson says they have run into complications as the cable is damaged further down the line.

An excavator working on the King Street construction project accidently clipped a Bell Aliant line around supper time last night.

Additional manpower and support is coming from Halifax.

The spokesperson hopes to have phones back up and running before midnight tonight.
