HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Henderson Municipal Power and Light (HMP&L) says it will begin a project that includes removal and replacement of a number of power poles which are being replaced to improve the electric grid.
Officials say this project also includes the removal of existing transmission lines and replacing with upgraded transmission lines which are designed to increase transmission capacity and improve system performance. This transmission line upgrade is necessary to support current and future system loading and to maintain safe, reliable electric service.

HMP&L says the work area will run 1.3 miles from a substation just east of the Borax Drive and US 41A-60 intersection and head north on South Green Street, also known as US 60, to the intersection with Sand Lane. From that intersection the project continues east a distance of one mile on Sand Lane ending at the substation just west of the Atkinson Street intersection.
Officials say the total project duration is approximately two and a half months, or mid-May through the end of July, Monday through Thursday during the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Once work begins, work zone traffic control measures will be in place.

- Phase 2 – Sand Lane will have certain segments down to one lane traffic as work progresses from West to East.
