The project will move a transmission pole on the west side of Interstate 25 approximately 85 feet farther west.

As part of the work, crews are scheduled to pull wire across Interstate 25 on the night of Wednesday, Sept. 30. The nighttime work is planned when traffic volumes are lower, and no full highway closures are expected.

The wire pull will allow crews to accurately install the transmission line on the relocated poles.

The project is expected to be completed by Oct. 8, weather permitting. The work is taking place in Fort Collins, one of the four communities that own Platte River Power Authority.
