This week, Southern California Edison is working on a power pole replacement near the Coastal Vista Trail and the UPRR railroad tracks.
Here is what you need to know:
- Timeline: Site prep and full replacement through May 29.
- Trail Impact: Pedestrian use of the Coastal Vista Trail in this area will be temporarily prohibited during construction.
- Detour: A temporary detour is in place! Please follow the posted signage on-site to navigate safely.
Why the work? This upgrade by Chevron ensures a separate, dedicated power source for the Casitas Pier while the onshore processing facility is safely powered down for decommissioning.
Thank you for your patience as this necessary infrastructure work is completed!
