November Update - Segment 3
Progress continues on the construction of segment 3 of the North Douglas County Transmission project. As part of this work, the team begins to install the overhead transmission wires, so there will be a need to temporarily close Interstate 680 overnight on Sunday, November 1. The following week through Nov. 5, night work will continue on and near Interstate 680. We do not anticipate additional road closures, however, lane restrictions and traffic control is expected.
To reduce impacts on daytime traffic, all work will take place between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Construction activities may require temporary lane closures or brief traffic stoppages to provide a safe work area for crews. Traffic control or signed detours will be in place when necessary to safely route traffic around active work areas.
When detours are necessary, motorists may be directed to alternate routes. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time, follow posted traffic control devices and directions from law enforcement and traffic control workers, and reduce speeds when traveling through work zones.
OPPD appreciates the public's patience and cooperation as crews complete this important infrastructure improvement.
*Please note, timing is subject to change based on weather or construction conditions.
