This project is an important step in facilitating future voltage conversions by creating additional electrical field ties to existing circuits in the surrounding area. The scope of work for this project is now complete. The work included the installation of approximately 240 trench feet of conduit, approximately 437 linear feet of new underground primary cable, and related electrical distribution facilities, as well as the installation of a new underground vault. The scope of work also included the removal of approximate 550 feet of primary cable, the relocation of a distribution duct bank, and street paving and project site
