HMP&L is overseeing 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.
This week of June 1, work will focus on portions of Phase 2, which runs from S. Green St./ Sand Lane intersection heading east on Sand Lane to Madison St. Motorists may encounter Work Zone Traffic Control measures in place with one lane traffic in portions of that route from time to time, beginning Monday, June 1 running through Thursday, June 4 as poles and power lines are replaced.
Officials advise the motoring traffic to be extra cautious when driving through this work zone.
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. (US 60) 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.
Work on the project is expected to continue through the end of July. Work will be performed between 6:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday.
