Jan. 18, 2023: Later this month, FPL intends to start the undergrounding construction work in the first sub-phases of neighborhood laterals tied to Feeder #800442. This sub-phase project area outlined in green is bounded by US-1, LeJeune Road, Sansovino Avenue, and Riviera Drive. All needed easements for this sub-phase are in-hand. FPL's contractor has all the necessary permits. FPL advises it has four (4) other similar sub-phases ready to go and will be moving forward on these within the next few months. FPL expects each sub-phase to take 10 to 12 weeks to complete.
