Beginning immediately, the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority will be installing electrical ducts and manholes from the L'Escargot intersection in Sub Base to the Public Works Department to accommodate underground high voltage cables.
The project is expected to be completed by Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2001.
The trenching is part of a hazard-mitigation project to place transmission lines underground from the Krum Bay Power Plant to the Roy L. Schneider Hospital, according to a release Thursday from WAPA spokeswoman Patricia Blake Simmonds
WAPA cautioned the public to follow the directions of the flagmen, who will be directing traffic during the trenching period.
