Tangipahoa The restoration to Amite is coming from the west Hillsdale circuit which we expect to be at 50% completion by 9/21 and fully restored by 10/4. The circuit that provides service to Pumpkin Center received catastrophic damage from Hurricane Ida. The line structure for a bank of voltage regulators to the north side of I-12 is currently being repaired. The regulator platform line is down crossing the interstate (broken 55 ft. poles on each side), which requires a cooRd.inated effort with DOTD and local authorities to facilitate shutting down I-12 to make repairs. After the interstate crossing is repaired, nearly every structure will have to be repaired or replaced for the remainder of the 4-mile trek across country to Pumpkin Center. A specialized off road right of way crew is making its way south towaRd. Pumpkin Center and is reaching 80% completion of the right of way reclamation process. We have a 22-man line crew with off road equipment that has been dispatched to the circuit to make the needed repairs. Timeline estimation is difficult due to the challenging terrain and the issues that come along with it. Our track equipment must traverse the right of way, but due to high water and boggy soil conditions delays can amount to hours or days per instance, depending on the circumstances.
Crews are making good progress in the Pumpkin Center area. We anticipate a closure on 1-12 tomorrow 09/12/21 at 6:00 a.m. to repair lines that cross the interstate.
Estimated restoration on or before:
9/21 – 10/16
