Alliance, NE – As part of an ongoing effort to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of the electric system, the City of Alliance Electric Department is beginning work to replace streetlight poles and fixtures along West 3rd Street.

The project will include the installation of new streetlight poles, break-away bases and energy- efficient LED lights. Work will begin east of Black Hills Avenue and progress eastward along West 3rd Street.

The first phase of the project will involve removing two existing wooden poles and their streetlights on the north side of West 3rd Street. Concrete footings will then be installed to support the new break-away bases. Once the concrete has had adequate time to cure, crews will return to install the new bases, poles and LED lights.

Work will continue eastward, with the existing streetlight poles on the north side of West 3rd Street being replaced as the project progresses.

Throughout the project, the streetlights on the south side of West 3rd Street will remain functional and continue providing lighting for the roadway.

Residents and motorists are encouraged to use caution around work areas and be aware of crews and equipment as construction progresses.

The Electric Department appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as this important improvement project moves forward.
