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.
