Gas & Electric Lines Affected by Planned Bypass

The planned construction in 2017 for the bypass along Meadowbrook Road will require electric and gas lines to be moved eastward.  Even though the bypass construction is a year into the future, WeEnergies crews will begin preparations in August of this year.  A gas line between Woodridge and Rolling Ridge will be relocated further east.  In addition, the electric poles and lines along Meadowbrook Road will be relocated as well.

Prior to the electric lines being moved, the Asplundh Co. will begin tree removals and trimming on the WMC outlot along Meadowbrook Road.  This work could begin as early as August 18.  Eventually, the Asplundh Co. will make arrangements to clear the area of trimmings and downed trees, but the wood could remain near the side of the road for several weeks.  You are welcome to take some of the wood if you so desire.
