Toledo Edison Crews Assist with Major Street Widening Project in Toledo
Work to Continue Through Mid-May on Lines and Equipment Relocation
TOLEDO, Ohio, April 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Toledo Edison is working with the City of Toledo on the city's Dorr Street Safety Corridor Project.
During the next few months Toledo Edison crews will replace and relocate 28 utility poles and install eight new transformers. The project also includes installing new overhead wire, and relocating an underground service line. The work is expected to cost about $725,000.
"The installation of new equipment along this section of Dorr Street will help enhance reliability for our customers," said Linda Moss, regional president of Toledo Edison. "We're happy to assist the city in its goal to reduce traffic congestion in the area."
To ensure Toledo Edison crews can operate safely, lanes on Dorr Street between Douglas and Greenhills roads will be closed over the next several months as work continues. Maintaining traffic flow while the electrical equipment is relocated may result in some delays during heavy commute times.
The City of Toledo Dorr Street Safety Corridor Project will result in the widening of the existing traffic lanes and the addition of turn lanes in the heavily-traveled areas near the University of Toledo.
