Robinson Street 230 kV Underground Transmission Line
Project Overview
To provide the most dependable service possible and meet growth demands in Central Florida, OUC The
—Reliable One is installing a new underground electric transmission line along Robinson Street from
North Fern Creek Avenue to North Crystal Lake Drive/Maguire Boulevard. This work includes excavation to install an
underground duct bank stretching 0.96 miles. No existing overhead lines will be removed or relocated.
OUC is working in coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) Robinson Street Resurfacing, Restoration and
Rehabilitation (RRR) project from Mills Avenue to Maguire Boulevard/Crystal Lake Drive and the City of Orlando's Robinson Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements project. OUC's 230 kV
transmission project will be completed ahead of FDOT's RRR project.
Together, these projects will transform Robinson Street. Below, courtesy of FDOT, are streetscape renderings of the
future Robinson Street after all roadway, streetscape, and utilities improvements are completed.

Project Schedule and Traffic Impacts
Construction began April 8, 2024, and will run along portions of Robinson Street. The full project's anticipated completion date is January 2025. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make enhancements to ensure electric reliability for our growing community.
Most of the transmission project work will be done during normal working hours, Mondays through Saturdays.
Multiple crews will work on different sections of the road at any given time. Signage will vary according to the type of work activity.
Below is the anticipated work schedule through December 2024.
*Please note: This schedule is subject to change and will be updated as needed. Starting mid-October 2024 through the remainder of the project, crews will need to revisit areas to complete the underground work near the newly installed manholes closing a lane in either westbound or eastbound directions in two-to-three-day intervals. Cones will be set in place. Please follow detours.
