PPL Line Rebuild and PPL Access Road connecting Carol Drive and W. Grove Street

Dear Dr. Mahon, Crews working for PPL Electric Utilities have begun important work to replace the power line near the bus stop at the corner of W. Grove Street and the PPL access road that connects to Carol Drive. This project is necessary to improve electric service throughout the region. Construction is expected to occur between the beginning of August and the end of October, 2017. Final restoration will begin thereafter, conditions and weather permitting, and will be finalized in the spring of 2018. Construction crews will intermittently access the transmission line easement along the access road as needed to construct the line. The contractor has incorporated the student pickup and drop-off times at the bus stop into the safety plan for this area. That safety plan includes signage, spotters, and designated walk areas for students to pass through the work area safely. Personal vehicles may not be permitted to pass through the PPL access road during active construction periods. Building the new line will involve many phases of construction, including: building access roads and other access areas; removing the existing structures and wire; drilling and installing pole foundations; transporting poles and equipment to the work locations; pole erection; wire stringing; and finally, restoration of the right of way. All work will take place within PPL’s property, easements and authorized access areas. Construction will involve the use of heavy equipment. For safety’s sake, members of the public including students - are asked to not approach crews while they are operating equipment. AECOM is under contract with PPL Electric Utilities to manage the construction of this project. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Pam Coleman at 610-216-5586. Sincerely,

Alana Roberts Regional Affairs Director
