Smaller outages were reported in Robinson Township, were 42 customers were without power, and Crafton, where only four customers were without power.
In total, 1,457 customers were affected.
Around 8:30 p.m., power had been restored to most customers -- just in time for them to catch Justin Timberlake's halftime performance.
Duquesne Light officials say a vehicle that crashed into a pole caused the outage.
