Dominion Virginia Power estimates 22,862 customers in Fairfax County remain powerless after Friday's derecho, including some in Oakton neighborhoods, as of 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Each morning, Dominion has released a list of streets where crews will be working to restore power. On Tuesday, the list included Hunt Road, Marbury Road, Oak Place and Chain Bridge Road, Rosehaven Street and Chain Bridge Road, Vale Road and Fox Mill Road and Birdfoot Lane. 

But the interactive outage map shows hundreds are still in the dark, some near the areas attended to by the crews, as of 1 a.m.

A work list for Wednesday has not yet been released. Oakton Patch will update this article with the information as it becomes available.

As of about 1 a.m. the following roads in and around the Oakton-Vienna are closed because of debris, showing little change since Tuesday, according to 511virginia.org:

• Rosehaven Street, near Spruce Street (Oakton)
• Fox Mill Road, from Vale Road to Foxvale Road (Oakton)
• Birdfoot Lane, from Stuart Mill Road to Lawyers Road (Vienna)
• Hunter Mill Road, from Silk Oak Drive to Tamarack Drive (Vienna)

• Dawes Ave, near N. Chambliss St. (Bailey's Crossroads)
• Prince William Drive, from Coronado Terrace to Hamilton Drive (Mantua)
• Juniper Street, off Lee Highway (Merrifield)
