ELECTRIC RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS REQUIRE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF LANE CLOSURES
Transmission lines are being rebuilt in southeast and southwest San Antonio to improve electric reliability
October 14, 2022 (SAN ANTONIO) – CPS Energy is working to improve the quality and safety of two aging transmission lines, which will help ensure electric reliability in two areas of southeast and southwest San Antonio.
The first project, Cagnon to Shepherd and Cagnon to Howard, involves completely removing and rebuilding the transmission lines and adding poles and power lines. The work will take place over the next two Sundays, October 16 and October 23, 2022. For safety precautions, intermittent lane closures will be needed at the Highway 90 intersection at Cagnon Road.

The second project, Braunig to Highland Hills, involves completely removing and rebuilding the transmission lines and adding poles and power lines. The work will take place at the Highway 181 and Laguna Road intersection, resulting in intermittent lane closures on Highway 181 east and west bound from October 23 – 24, 2022.

No power outages are anticipated with either project and traffic control will be provided for both. Drivers are asked to find alternative routes and avoid the areas, if possible, during the project dates. CPS Energy reminds drivers to Move Over Slow Down, per State law, for crew and driver safety.
