In the coming weeks, HMPL with its subcontractor – 5 Star Electric, is beginning a
reconductoring project that includes removal and replacement of a number of power
poles which are being replaced to accommodate larger conductor size and updating load
requirements. This project also includes the removal of existing transmission lines and
replacing with upgraded transmission lines which are designed to increase transmission
capacity and improve system performance. This transmission line upgrade is necessary
to support current and future system loading and to maintain safe, reliable electric
service.
UPDATE:
This coming week following the Memorial Day holiday, with Phase 1 beginning on
this project which runs from US41A/Borax Dr. intersection heading northbound on
South Green St. to Sand Lane, there will be Work Zone Traffic Control measures in
place with one lane traffic northbound on S Green St., at times, beginning Tuesday,
May 26 running through Thursday, May 28 as poles and power lines are replaced.
Specifically, on Tues, May 26th, the intersection with Canoe Creek Dr. will be down
to one lane while power pole replacement is completed at that intersection.
Residents in that subdivision may want to consider an alternate route via Arrow
Way over to Sand Lane during the day of the 26th, weather permitting.
The projects total work area will run 1.3 miles from our substation just east of the Borax
Dr./US 41A-60 intersection and head north on South Green St. (US60) to the intersection
with Sand Lane. From that intersection the project continues east a distance of 1 mile on
Sand Lane ending at our Substation just west of the Atkinson St. intersection.
Total project duration is approx. 2-1/2 months (mid-May thru end of July). Monday –
Thursday, 6:30 am to 4:30 pm. Once work begins, work zone traffic control measures
will be in place.
Phase 1 – Work on north bound S. Green St. may be down to one lane of north
bound traffic at different intervals as the day-by-day project progresses north.
Phase 2 – Sand Lane will have certain segments down to one lane traffic as work
progresses from West to East.
The motoring traffic, as well as property owners along these routes, need to be aware and
keep abreast of the work schedule through these areas. Also, weather conditions could
create adjusting of work schedules.
