Commission approves permit for Alabama Power pole work on Sandy Road with short lane closures
Summary
County approved permits for Alabama Power to install new poles on Sandy Road; staff said lane closures will be limited to a single lane and may last up to six hours for crane set-up and takedown while crews complete installations.
The commission approved permit requests that allow Alabama Power to install new lines and poles on Sandy Road. County staff said the work will require temporary lane closures but the permit as presented covers single-lane closures and the company expects to limit closures to short durations.
"They would've got a plan for 6 hours because of the crane set up and take down," the county engineer said when discussing how long crews might need to close one lane. Staff said some additional pole moves remain under discussion and that coordination with property owners and the contractor will continue prior to starting work.
Commissioners approved the permit item after staff described the scope; a start date was not specified but staff indicated work would begin once remaining permits and coordination are complete.
