FPL continues to replace power line under Intracoastal | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

This is a major project. Bill and I stumbled upon it when we rode our bikes to downtown West Palm Beach and back. There is activity going on at the barrier island and the mainland (WPB). West Palm Beach is getting the butt end of the stick. Most of the noise and smoke it coming from that side as that is where the directional boring is taking place. There is a property for sale right next to all the construction activity that will be hard sell while this is going on. We stopped by the next day and took some pictures.

These are from the Palm Beach side. 



There is more staging area on the causeway (Southern Boulevard) between the two sites. Here they are storing some clay that will be used to stabilize the sandy soil around the conduit.

And this is the West Palm Beach side.


And this is looking east toward Palm Beach. The cable is going just to the left of the white house. This will establish a new looped system that will protect part of Palm Beach from future outages.
