Project Objective

A contractor working for JEA (Heart Utilities, Inc.) installed new protective conduit, electric cables and two (2) new PVC manholes along Belle Rive Boulevard.

The contractor installed the new conduit with a technique called horizontal directional drilling (HDD). HDD requires very little excavation, reduces construction duration, and is less disruptive to the surrounding community. Once completed, this project will help to proactively improve the overall quality and reliability of your electric service. 

Construction Conditions

Construction primarily occurred in the City of Jacksonville rights of way, roads and easements. Please see the work area map below.

Planned Power Outages

Customers may experience brief power outages as a result of this work. Customers will be notified prior to any prolonged (more than 1 hour) planned electric outages. 

Restoration of the Project Area

Restoration of the project area began soon after the project has been completed. Any existing grass, sprinklers, pavement, curb, gutter, driveways and/or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
